What are grits?

Grits are a popular dish in the South, made from crushed or ground corn. This dish originated in Native American culture. Grits are naturally gluten-free, and paired with flavorful ingredients.

Callie's Hot Little Biscuit Carolina Grits are milled by hand on antique machines by the family behind Marsh Hen Mill on Edisto Island. These grits cook up a creamy texture every time because they're ground with love. Serve 'em up piping hot and dressed however you like for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
