The Nitty-Gritty on Grits

Nourish is a show about food – what it says about who we are, where we're from, and the ties that connect us. Twice each month, we’ll explore the people, culture, and SCIENCE behind what we eat - from farm to table. Think of this show as food for your mind, body, and soul.

The Nitty-Gritty on Grits

Season 1 Episode 9 | 8m 54s | CC

Grits may be the most underestimated of all Southern foods – but they form the foundation of some of the most beloved, (and despised) Southern dishes. For this episode of Nourish, we go looking for lost and found varieties of heirloom corns that made grits such a Southern staple.
