SUMMARY: Grits and coffee improve significantly when freshly ground. Similar to the freshest coffee served in shops today, the best grits come from small producers like Original Grit Girl Grits in Oxford, MS. Freshly ground and promptly shipped, their grits are available at select markets in Mississippi. To elevate your grits, try molding and sautéing them for a crunchy texture. Enhance the flavor by cooking with heavy cream, chicken stock, sautéed vegetables, or adding cheeses like Gruyere. Grits pair wonderfully with many dishes, such as Bolognese sauce, spicy sausage with eggs, beef stew, and the classic shrimp and grits with garlic butter.
