added over 1 year agoYellow grits are essentially the same as coarse cornmeal, while white grits are corn (or hominy) ground without the husks. You can definitely use coarse cornmeal for this recipe -- it will be delicious! But make sure you cook it long enough, as it may take a while longer to get tender (just add more liquid as you go if it starts to get too thick).
You may need to look for them with the hot cereal in the grocery store. I love grits and make them frequently.

...also Weisenberger Mil in Midway, KY has stone ground grits, yellow or white for sale online.
