What makes Unicorn Grits different from regular corn grits?

Unicorn Grits are produced from a pink heirloom corn and stone-ground to keep more of the kernel's natural texture and flavor than highly processed grits. The pink corn contributes subtle color variation and a slightly nuttier aroma, while stone grinding retains coarse particles that give a heartier bite.

• Made from heirloom pink corn, not standard yellow hybrids
• Stone-ground milling preserves texture and natural oils
• No additives or preservatives for pure corn flavor
• Gluten-free and suitable for many diets

How do I cook these stone-ground grits for best results?

Stone-ground grits need a bit more attention than quick grits: gentle simmering and stirring bring out their smooth, creamy potential while keeping the rustic texture. Use a ratio of about 4 cups liquid to 1 cup grits, simmer 20–40 minutes depending on desired tenderness, and finish with butter or stock to enrich the flavor.

• Ratio: roughly 4:1 liquid to grits for creamy results
• Simmer on low, stirring to prevent sticking and lumps
• Add butter, cream, or stock near the end for richness
• For quicker prep, soak grits briefly in cold water before cooking

Which recipes or meals highlight Unicorn Grits best?

These grits are versatile across breakfasts, sides, and mains. Their coarse stone-ground texture works well under shrimp, as a base for braised meats, or simply dressed up with cheese and herbs for a comforting side dish.

• Classic Southern breakfast with butter and maple or savory cheese
• Shrimp and grits — use stock and sautéed shrimp for contrast
• Polenta-style bakes and gratins that can hold toppings well
• Rustic bowls topped with braised vegetables or roasted meats

Are these grits sustainable and where are they milled?

Marsh Hen Mill mills these grits on Edisto Island, following small-batch methods that honor local milling traditions. The use of heirloom corn varieties supports biodiversity compared with large-scale monoculture corn crops, and the small-batch approach reduces overprocessing.

• Milled in small batches on Edisto Island
• Heirloom corn supports varietal diversity
• Stone milling preserves whole-kernel qualities
• Packaging size: 24 oz single unit for home use
