We stone-grind our polenta/grits from the same certified organic corn as we use for our golden yellow cornmeal. We just set the mill stones a little farther apart to get a more granular product.
In addition to making polenta or grits (see note below), you can use this product on your pizza stone before putting the dough on it. No matter how you use it, you’ll get great whole-kernel taste and nutrition. To preserve all of that goodness, be sure to keep your cornmeal in the freezer until you’re ready to use it.
NOTE: We have learned that there are many personal and regional differences in the definitions of “polenta” and “grits.” Some people use the words interchangeably for any coarsely ground corn that can be cooked into a porridge, while other people consider them completely different — sometimes based on their coarseness, and sometimes on other factors, such as whether the kernels were treated with lye. Our “polenta/grits” are not “hominy grits” and so have not been treated with lye. They are simply organic corn that is more coarsely stone-milled than our cornmeal.
