Grits is a southern favorite, a hot cereal made from hominy which is itself a kind of corn. ExpertExtras Low Carb Grits Mix is an extender to stretch a little bit of the real thing into a portion large enough to satisfy. Corn? How can that be low carb? Because some people love grits with a passion so strong that doing without is a real trial, that small amount of corn may actually help them stay on their diets. So grits-lovers, enjoy! Please note: this product is for use as a cereal only. It does not harden on cooling, which makes it unsuitable for fried grits. However, it does make a delicious side dish, a la mashed potatoes, especially with cheese. In addition, you can use its stay-soft quality to make it ahead and reheat it when you need it. The mix does not contain any grits, you must add your own. The recipe was developed using Quaker Quick Grits (not instant) but it works with other types (including instant, if that's what you prefer) and other brands. You will have to adjust the cooking time to whatever your brand's directions call for. You may also adjust the amount of grits -- just keep the carb count in mind. It comes in a 5-ounce package in a stand-up zipper pouch (about 35 servings). - Nutrition Facts
