Notes

Freezes well.

Editor's note: grits are ground or cracked hominy. Hominy is an American Indian food, which is made from dried corn. There is virtually no substitute for it, and it is hard to get outside North America. It is a very popular food in the southern U.S. In parts of Mexico it is known as "nixtamal" or sometimes "pozole".
