What exactly are grits?

This is not a question some one from the south has to ask. But here in the Northwest grits are not really a part of our culture...until now.

Coursly cracked grain. That's it. That is grits in a nutshell.

Traditionally this is made of corn. Many southern dishes tout grits as the base to their deeply loved meals. Hello SHRIMP and GRITS!

But here is the thing...grits can be made of ANY cracked grain and each grain offers a different taste. All of the beloved grains grown in Montana can be cracked into a grit form. We love making Montana grown ancient grain grits because...

> It's local!
> Cuts the cook time into 1/3
> Ancient Grain (Farro) is easy to digest
> Nothing refined here.
> Most corn grits are genetically modified and have a high glycemic index
> Rice is boring after a while. With grits you can shake it up a little.

Locals...give grits a chance. If your previous grit experience has left you with a bad taste in your mouth... we've made it Montana style, nothing slimy or sloppy about this. You will see why Montana grown Gruff Grits are making waves across this nation.

As moms who care deeply about helping people understand that our food is only as nutritious as the fields in which it's grown, we felt that our ancient grain grits were too special to keep to ourselves.

We had to share.
