Stone Ground Yellow Grits

Our Stone-Ground Yellow Grits are milled fresh in small batches in Wilsonville, Alabama, where we’ve been grinding corn since 2002.

Yellow grits are known for their rich, naturally buttery flavor and slightly sweet, nutty depth, thanks to the vibrant pigments in yellow corn. Because they are stone-ground, these grits retain the germ and bran, giving them a heartier texture and creamier consistency than quick or instant grits.

Made with certified organic corn, they deliver authentic taste, whole-grain nutrition, and a true farm-to-table experience.

Flavor Profile:
Yellow grits have a richer, slightly sweeter corn flavor with naturally buttery, nutty notes. Their deeper corn taste and warm golden color make them especially well suited for hearty Southern dishes, savory breakfasts, and bold recipes like shrimp & grits or cheesy baked grits.

Our Milling Process
We’ve been milling grits the traditional way since 2002. Our organic yellow corn is slowly stone-ground at low temperatures to preserve the germ and bran, which is where the flavor, nutrients, and natural oils live.

This method produces:
• A superior texture
• A deep, authentic corn flavor
• Better nutritional value than steel-cut or degerminated grits

Each batch is milled in small quantities to ensure exceptional freshness and consistency.

What makes yellow grits different from white grits?
Yellow grits have a slightly sweeter, deeper flavor and more robust corn taste due to their natural pigments.

Why do stone-ground grits take longer to cook?
Stone-ground grits retain the germ and bran, which provide better flavor and nutrition but require a longer simmer.

Can I use these grits in recipes calling for “old-fashioned grits”?
Absolutely — these are true old-fashioned, stone-ground grits.

What sizes do they come in?
We offer four weight options: 10 oz, 1.25 lb, 2 lb, and 10 lb.
