Yellow Corn Coarse Grits, Henry Moore / lb

Henry Moore Yellow Hominy Corn is an authentic South Carolina-grown hominy corn bred over 150 years ago. (Classic hominy corns have big, round kernels.) Regular milling leaves Henry Moore cold, so we treat this old heirloom the way it likes to be treated: before harvesting, we let the corn dry on the stalks in the field, and then crib it up for a time thereafter so winter drafts can perform their final subtle drying, kernel by kernel. This process develops lovely flavour characteristics that come out brilliantly complex and satisfying when cooked. With particles of corn ranging in size from 1/6 to 1/26 of an inch, Anson Mills coarse grits are produced from field ripened Henry Moore dent mill corns, prized historically for exceptional flavour and texture. Stove time: 50 to 90 minutes depending on method.
