I love it, but!

I really love the grits and I was surprised that I bought instant because I grew up eating the old fashioned grits that cooked much, much longer!!!! My very strong recommendation is to lower sodium or develop a product that is lower in sodium!!!!!!!

Grits Good - Container Not

I use this 5-minute grits as part of my daily diet. The grits are tasty and smooth. However, I wish you would fix the lid on the round 24 oz containers. Twice I have had the lid come off in my hand when picking the container up, spilling a large quantity of its contents. The lid does not seal tightly and comes off way too easily.

There's no better breakfast like a hot bowl of grits with egg and turkey sauce on the side. I like my grits with a spoon of added butter so yummy. A family classic for many many years. Even though the packaging says quick 5 mins I love to cook the grains down as long as possible I hate it to have a grainy taste.

Very sad

As a long time ,daily user of this products (decades) I am so disappointed. Lately my 5 minute grits have required double that cook time and producing off colored, clumpy, vinegar and oil type consistency. My cooking process including stove top and water has not changed so I'm thinking it is a recipe change. If so, please revert back to your old recipe or I will no longer be purchasing this product. So sad.

Grit taste solved

I had the same issues as everyone else, but I decided to do some prombkem solving. I went and grab a 1qt pot boiled some more water to high temps and poured little at a time in side whisking like crazy. then I let it sit simmering for 7 min then taste and continue. I must admit I originally did 2 portions of grits. The 2 portions called for 2 cups of water but I used whole milk for the second cup. I think that caused for less liquid to be available in the pot to be absorbed. But I got it right by just adding boiling water little at a time then letting it simmer.

Grit Texture is Off!

Our family has been enjoying your grits for years. However, with our last purchase we noticed that no matter how we prepared the grits the texture is not suitable to eat. It is apparent that you changed the ingredients or the processing of them. This is very disturbing and almost unethical. Don’t you think in full disclosure you should advise consumers of changes on the product labeling?

I've been eating Quaker Grits since I was a child. My mother cooked them and now I cook them for my family. They are easy to prepare and I usually prepare them first to let them get nice a creamy. I typically eat grits every weekend. My family loves them and I do too.

Difference In Grits

I usually purchase the grits on the left (in the round box). My store didn’t have them and I bought the package on the right. The cooking instructions are the same but the texture is so different. Should I use different cooking for the ones I just bought? I don’t even like the gritter texture from the paper package. May throw them out.

Old Fashioned/New Taste

I’ll admit they have changed their style a lil bit. But they just need to update the cooking timeframe etc. also add in some butter so they don’t burn for cooking them a lil longer as well. It works. Wil be to your taste of creamy ness that we all grew up on. Southern Boy.

When making grits for the household, this is my go to canister. They are easy to measure and directions are easy to follow. I use these especially whwn making shrimp & grits. The whole canister is gone in 1 meal. We are a family of 7. Always easy to find in the breakfast aisle of most grocery stores.
