Description
Hominy grits consist of coarsely grounded pieces of white corn with the hull and germ removed. They go through a process called nixtamalization, in which kernels are soaked in an alkaline solution, such as limewater, to improve nutrition and digestibility. These grits are coarse and firm and have a mildly sweet taste.
Directions
Stir 1 part hominy grits into 4 1/2 parts boiling water. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes.
