Grits refers to a ground-corn food of Native American origin that is common in the Southern United States and eaten mainly at breakfast. Modern grits are commonly made of alkali-treated corn known as hominy. Grits are similar to other thick maize-based porridges from around the world such as polenta. Instant grits have been processed to speed cooking.The word grits derives from the Old English word grytt meaning coarse meal.
