The Nitty-Gritty on Grits

Season 1 Episode 9 | 8m 54s | CC

Grits may be the most underestimated of all Southern foods – but they form the foundation of some of the most beloved, (and despised) Southern dishes. For this episode of Nourish, we go looking for lost and found varieties of heirloom corns that made grits such a Southern staple.
