Traditionally people understand grits to be made of corn but did you know you can make grits from any cracked grain? It’s true…and grits made from ancient grains make for a more nutritious meal. Knowing that, we decided it’s time they had their glory day in the hot sun.
Because of their hearty nature, ancient grains, including many varieties of wheat have existed for centuries. Modern, conventional, commercially grown wheat has become chemically dependent on synthetic cycles that are detrimental to our soil systems. Gruff believes it's time for a throw back.
