Can Cornmeal Be Used To Make Grits?
Cornmeal can be used to make grits, but the texture and taste may differ depending on the type of cornmeal used. Coarser cornmeal will result in a more traditional, grainy texture similar to stone-ground grits, while finer cornmeal may create a smoother, creamier texture resembling instant grits. However, actual grits are made from hominy, which is corn treated with an alkali to remove the hull and germ, resulting in a distinctive flavor and texture.
