The best grits I've ever eaten!

The best grits I've ever eaten!
The above photo has not been altered in any way. The beautiful, deep yellow color you see is the real deal. The flavor is sublime; purely corn, as it should be. I live in the South but haven't been able to track down authentic yellow grits in any local grocery store. I decided to try the Lake Side brand because it's been milled by the same North Carolina, family-owned mill since1736. There are easy stovetop preparation instructions printed on the back of the bag, but I prepared it in my Zojirushi NS-LGC05 rice cooker with a perfect result. The following is my method of preparation:1 c. (dry measure) Lake Side yellow corn grits1/2 t. sea salt3 c. water (liquid measure)Place grits, salt, and water in bowl of rice cooker. Stir for 15 seconds, close lid, and set menu for porridge setting. If you don't have a porridge setting, use the steel-cut oats setting.Near end of cycle, open lid, stir and add 1-2 T. butter, and season with ground white pepper, if desired.I will be buying these again. A 2lb. bag for under $10 is definitely worth the splurge if you love grits!

I don't know why, but I have always loved the taste, texture, and look of Lakeside's Yellow Grits. I grew up eating plain white grits in the north, as my parents were from the south, but discovering these while living in Augusta was a happy revelation. I used to buy them at Publix near our home but the store near our house in metro Atlanta stopped carrying them. I decided to try Amazon and was pleasantly surprised during the corona lockdown to find they were available from here. Not much to say about grits other than these are delicious and I am happy I can get them again. Saturday morning just isn't the same without grits on the plate. It's a southern thing, I guess, but northerners should give them a try as they are missing out.

If I could give these 10 stars I would. My husband and I are grits connoisseurs and have been searching for good yellow grits for a while. Even though we sort of live in the South - Virginia, but anyone born north of Birmingham, Alabama is a yankee to us :-) - we cannot find good grits in the stores here.

Anyway, these are the best grits we have ever had. My only complaint is the recipe on the bag calls for too much water. We like our grits thick enough to eat with a fork, but I knew to halve the water. I also add butter while cooking, so basically a 1/2 cup of grits, a cup of water, 2 tbsp. of butter and salt to taste and these grits are thick and heavenly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lumpy grits

Edit - I poured Lakeside's grits into my pot of boiling water too fast. Even tho whisking rapidly, I still got dozens of mini lumps. This morning I patiently poured them in whilst whisking and no lumps. With the Ralson grits I can pour them in fast whilst whisking and they don't lump. You need to pour your measured serving in slowly with these.
Original -
My all time favourite grits, Ralston Quik Grits, were sold out so, based on reviews, I ordered these from Lakeside. My grit cooking method, slowly pour into boiling water and use a whisk to incorporate them in as I pour, then, whisk vigorously about every 7-10 minutes and cook for about 30 (or until creamy and not "gritty"). With Lakeside grits, I got dozens and dozens of small (3-6mm) lumps that were near impossible to whisk out. I actually got a spoon and mashed the little lumps against the side of the pot to mash em as the whisk did zero good. Still ended up with many on the plate. Nope, these go in the garbage when the now "in stock" Ralston case gets here. On the plus side, they were creamy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Consistent Quality + Prefer Yellow to White corn grits

Much better than any "Quick Cook" grits products we have tried from other brands. Good flavor when compared to stone ground grits but much faster cooking time. We use 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 water for better flavors. When reheating, add a splash of milk to cold grits, pop into microwave, stir well to blend. Good the second time around as well.

From my childhood I have always preferred yellow over white grits. Having said that, buying yellow at this price is an occasional treat. I am from the Southern United States and have been eating grits my entire life, but finding yellow grits her in the Midwest is hard and expensive. So, every now and again I splurge!

I just received my container of 1 lb lakeside yellow grits when it was supposed to be 2 lb for $15. But I only have 1 lb for $15, that's not right. And when I went to see how to return it, it can't be returned. I don't think I will be ordering anything else at this point in time.

I looked everywhere locally for Yellow Grits without success and finally found them on Amazon! My grandmother had been asking for Yellow Grits for years before I discovered these and I'm so glad that I found them! She said they are delicious and reminded her of her childhood!

Thanks, Amazon, for making my grandmother so happy before she passed.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!
