Stone Ground Grits
 
I'm looking for stone-ground grits, and all I can find are "quick" grits.

Anybody know where I can find stone-ground around TV?

I have no idea where to get them here…but Amazon is just a click away

Yes, I've seen them there. I have some hesitation to buy stuff like that on Amazon, and would prefer to find a local source, if I could.

Have you tried Sprouts? Also, Walmart has a ship to store option.

Haven't tried Sprouts. Will do that.
Walmart's "ship to store" thing drives me nuts. From what I can tell they are a clearing house for 3rd party vendors, as opposed to stocking the items themselves. That gets me into the world of what I don't like about buying perishables from Amazon.

Thanks for the idea about Sprouts.

I buy my stone ground grits at the Biltmore, can by online also. Ground on property, as good as the mill my great grands used to grind their at.

Asheville NC. They have on property hotel, boutiques, with wineries, cheeses, beef, and Christmas store. The tour of the Biltmore will never disappoint, sadly their grits are no longer offered on line only in store

I bought some in Sawgrass Grove. Either the market or the butcher? I can’t remember which. They were in a white cloth bag.

Sawgrass Grove? It’s a mini town square type place in the villages south of 44.

Have you ever tried polenta (Italian Grits:))? Depending on cooking techniques, the texture can be nearly identical.

In my personal opinion as someone from the south raised on grits but who also loves polenta. They’re very different. Specifically if you’re talking stone ground grits.
