Grits - What's up with those anyway?!

Grits are a typically Southern food used mostly for breakfast dishes sort of like oatmeal or cream of wheat. Grits are basically ground corn, white or yellow, with water and salt. Usually cooked up with animal fat, like bacon, or fried with oil and butter, grits aren't often considered a health food. But prepared without those things, grits can be a good base for a nutritious meal when you serve with protein and more veggies. Grits contain little to no sugar and are rich in Vitamin B and Iron. Iron is important to help the body transport oxygen and create energy. B Vitamins break down nutrients and help the body use food for fuel. Good stuff! When shopping for grits look for enriched and unsalted to get the biggest health benefits for your buck. Try some tonight! The Shrimp and Grits recipe I just posted make a warmy, yummy, comfy meal in no time.
