We were in search of a new place to purchase true stone ground grits since our old 40year supplier has bowed to present day opinion and stopped making the grits we used to get. These are the only grits we have found that we enjoy. We started with a 2-pound size, we now purchase them in the 5-pound bags. Why bother with grits if they do not have grits feel and taste. Yes, they may take a few minutes longer than the popular product out there but these are very much worth the wait.
