ExpertExtras Grits Mix Extender
Grits is a southern favorite, a hot cereal made from hominy which is itself a
kind of corn. Our Grits Mix is an extender to stretch a little bit of the real
thing into a portion large enough to satisfy. Our mix does not contain any grits,
you must add your own.
Uh-oh, you say. She's really losing it. Even her grammar is going. And corn!
How can that be lowcarb?
First of all, no, that's not a grammatical error. Even though the dictionary
may disagree, to serious grits aficionados, grits is a collective noun spoken
about in the singular.
You are right about the second point, because corn may be a problem for
some lowcarbers. However, because some people (including Barbara) love
grits with a passion so strong that doing without is a real trial, that small
amount of corn may actually help them stay on their diets.
Of course, for the rest of the lowcarb population who hasn't tried this dish or who reacts with apathy (no
one seems to actually hate grits but some people just plain don't care), it's safer to stick with not/Cereal.
Anyway, that leaves more for the rest of us.
Our apologies if this seems flip, but it's hard to be serious when talking about one of our favorite foods. Not
only is it a pleasure to share it with our friends, but it is also a demonstration of Expert Foods' growth that
we are able to produce this rather-specialized product.
So grits-lovers, enjoy!
Please note: this product is for use as a cereal only. It does not harden on cooling, which makes it
unsuitable for fried grits. However, it does make a delicious side dish, a la mashed potatoes, especially with
cheese. In addition, you can use its stay-soft quality to make it ahead and reheat it when you need it --
particularly nice for our grits casserole recipes. See our directions in our Recipes section.
Our mix does not contain any grits, you must add your own. We developed the recipe using Quaker Quick
Grits (not instant) but it works with other types (including instant, if that's what you prefer) and other
brands. You will have to adjust the cooking time to whatever your brand's directions call for. You may also
adjust the amount of grits -- just keep the carb count in mind.
Some people are sensitive to corn, even when the carb count is low. If corn is a problem for you,
not/Cereal may be a better choice for you. It can be made into something that resembles grits somewhat,
but contains no grain.
