Marsh Hen Mill Speckled Grits — 24 oz Stone-Ground Heirloom Blend (Yellow & White Corn), Coarse, Gluten-Free

Marsh Hen Mill Speckled Grits are a stone-ground heirloom blend of yellow and white corn that delivers old-fashioned, creamy grits with a slightly sweet, nutty flavor.

These speckled grits are made in small batches using antique stones to preserve natural oils and corn flavor, offering a traditional texture and authentic taste from Edisto Island, South Carolina. Packaged as a 24 oz bag, the blend balances the boldness of yellow corn with the smoothness of white corn for a versatile gluten-free pantry staple. Whether you want a classic breakfast bowl, a creamy side, or a base for seafood and cheese dishes, this coarse-ground blend brings handcrafted character to everyday cooking.

How do these grits differ from quick or instant grits?

Stone-ground speckled grits retain more of the whole-kernel components and natural corn oils because they're milled slowly between stones. That results in a heartier texture, fuller flavor, and longer cooking time compared with quick or instant varieties.

• Coarse, stone-ground texture for creamier mouthfeel after cooking
• Longer simmering time enhances depth of flavor
• Preserved natural oils and nutrients from whole kernels
• No pre-cooking or additives—just pure corn grits

What cooking methods work best with this heirloom blend?

These grits are flexible: simmer them slowly in water, milk, or stock for creamy grits, or use a faster method with a higher liquid ratio for a softer finish. They also make an excellent base for baked polenta-style dishes or savory spoonable sides when combined with butter, cheese, or seafood.

• Stovetop simmering for 20–40 minutes yields a classic, creamy texture
• Slow cooker or oven for hands-off, consistent results
• Use milk or stock to enrich creaminess and flavor
• Incorporate into savory bakes, griddle cakes, or stuffing-style sides

What flavor and texture can I expect from the speckled blend?

The combination of yellow and white heirloom corn produces a slightly sweet, nutty profile with a pleasant coarse grain. You’ll notice a rustic, old-fashioned mouthfeel that holds up well to mix-ins like cheese, herbs, or sautéed shrimp without becoming mushy.

• Slight sweetness from yellow corn balanced by smooth white corn
• Nutty, toasted notes from slow stone grinding
• Coarse grains that create a substantial, satisfying bite
• Stable texture that pairs well with robust sauces and toppings
