>>12440195Yeah, basically it is a pre-colombian way of preserving corn to keep it from sprouting while in storage and it also causes some of the vitamins to become more bioavailable. You can buy instant grits on amazon if you want to try them, but if you do, don't get the flavored ones they is shit. Get plain and cook em up with plenty of butter. While they are cooking fry up some bacon, let it cool, and chop it up. Fry up some sliced onions and toss em in the bacon grease until they are nice an softly sauteed. Pat the onion slices dry with a paper towel and then stir it into the grits along with the bacon and some grated cheese. Shit is amazing.
