Quaker Grits 24oz

Quaker Grits 24 oz is a classic corn-based hot cereal made from white corn grits. It has a smooth, creamy texture when cooked and a mild corn flavor that works well with both savory and sweet toppings. Quaker’s 24 oz grits are available in Old Fashioned and Quick 5-Minute varieties, so the exact cooking time depends on the version.
