5-Star Quaker Pearl Milling Old-Fashioned Corn Grits 80 oz (5 lb) Bag — Coarse-Ground, Stovetop-Ready

Quaker Grits Pearl Milling (Aunt Jemima) Old Fashioned is a coarse-ground, stovetop-ready corn grits sold in an 80 oz (5 lb) bulk bag for family meals and pantry stocking.

These old-fashioned corn grits from the Pearl Milling Company (Aunt Jemima) recipe are coarse-ground for a hearty texture and are packaged in a large 80 oz (5 lb) bag ideal for households, meal prepping, or foodservice use. The product cooks on the stovetop to produce creamy or slightly toothsome grits depending on cook time and liquid ratio. Use them as a classic breakfast base, a savory side, or incorporated into casseroles and baked dishes.

How long do these old-fashioned grits take to cook?

Cooking time depends on your desired texture: shorter for creamy, longer for more bite. Bring liquid to a simmer, whisk in grits, then cook while stirring until you reach the consistency you like.

• Typical simmer time: 20–30 minutes for traditional texture.
• For creamier grits: simmer 20 minutes, stir often.
• For toothsome, al dente grits: cook 30+ minutes.
• Use 3–4 parts liquid to 1 part grits for a creamy result.

What are practical serving ideas for this 5 lb bag?

This bulk bag is versatile—serve warm with butter and cheese, pair with eggs or shrimp, or use the cooked hominy in savory bakes and fritters. It’s also convenient for batch cooking and portioning for weekly meals.

• Breakfast bowls with butter, cheese, and scallions.
• Soul-food style with shrimp, bacon, or smoked sausage.
• Baked polenta-style slices or savory grits casseroles.
• Prepare a large batch and refrigerate or freeze portions.

How should I store the 80 oz bag for best freshness?

Keep the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. After opening, transfer the grits to an airtight container to preserve flavor and keep out moisture and pantry pests.

• Store unopened in pantry for months at room temperature.
• After opening, use an airtight jar or resealable container.
• Label with open date; use within several months for best quality.
• Keep away from heat sources and humidity.

Are these grits appropriate for recipes that require polenta-style texture?

Yes—old-fashioned coarse grits can be used similarly to polenta when cooked longer and finished with butter or cheese. Adjust liquid and cook time to achieve a firm, sliceable texture for baking or grilling.

• For firm polenta: increase liquid and simmer until very thick, then cool in a pan to slice.
• Finish with olive oil, Parmesan, or sharp cheddar for richness.
• Use cooled slices for grilling, frying, or layering in casseroles.
