Bob's Red Mill Corn Grits Polenta 24 OZ (Pack of 2)

Product Description

Bob's Red Mill Organic Polenta Corn Grits are made using only the finest golden corn for a rich flavor that is sure to please your palate, any meal of the day. Native Americans offered the first settlers in the US bowls of Rockahominie, a dish consisting of ground up corn grain cooked into a creamy mixture. It is believed this corn mixture kept many of the settlers alive during those cold winters. Today, corn grits hold a prominent place in soul food and southern dishes. They are also used as a side or a pairing with dishes containing very heavily spiced ingredients. Grits may be eaten covered in gravy, cheese or butter and salt; or served with seafood, meats or vegetables. Grits also make a delightful breakfast when served as a hot cereal topped with milk and honey or brown sugar. Grits are a great way to help meet your body's daily energy needs. The fiber content in grits helps you feel full for longer periods of time and promotes regular digestive functioning. Polenta is a dish that has been popular in Italian and other European cuisine, and is now gaining fans in America as well. It is made from coarse ground corn (grits), boiled in water to create a porridge. This can be topped and served immediately for a warm corn side dish. Alternatively, you can spread the porridge in a pan and refrigerate it until it sets. Then the polenta can be cut into squares and baked, grilled or fried. Similar to pasta, cooked polenta is delicious topped with marinara sauce, shredded cheese, or grilled or roasted vegetables. Many gourmet Italian and Mediterranean restaurants feature our polenta. The recipes on Bob's Red Mill packages are simple and delicious.

• These Organic Corn Grits are Southern-style grits made from the finest white corn. The pure corn flavor of these delicious grits makes them ideal for shrimp and grits, cheese grits, grit cakes and porridge. Grits and polenta are one and the same: we make them from high-quality dried corn that has been ground to produce coarse grits that will absorb water, broth or milk to become creamy and delicious—just like the grits you’ll find in South Carolina. • While these aren’t instant grits, they cook up in just five minutes. Bob's Red Mill organic corn grits / polenta is a delicious product that's easy to prepare.

Polenta was originally eaten as a staple food by subsistence farmers, but eventually evolved into a flavorful dish prepared with aromatics that is arguably as quintessentially Italian as pasta!
