Three-quarters of the grits sold in the United States are bought in the South and Charleston Favorites Stone-Ground White Grits are some of the best that you can buy. Charleston Favorites Grits are made from select Southern corn and ground on an authentic millstone— just like they’ve done it for centuries. These stone-ground grits cook up to be smooth and creamy to serve alongside bacon and eggs in the morning. The use doesn’t stop after breakfast, though, as this stone-ground southern delicacy is sure to be the be the star of your shrimp and grits. The stone-grinding process takes this southern staple back to its roots and makes for a meal with flavor, nutrition, and history. Beside, there is also Stone Ground Yellow Grits which make for an ideal base for shrimp and grits — it doesn’t get more quintessentially southern than that. If you’re feeling like a Lowcountry pro, cook and pack them together for fried grit cakes that will elevate and absorb any juicy dish that finds its way onto your table.These stone-ground Grits are ground the same way our ancestors milled them over 170 years ago. The grinding processes all the flavors and the textures that gave original grits their nationwide reputation. For extra creamy grits, use 1 cup grits, 4 cups milk, 1 cup water, half a pound butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper. Add all ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce heat and stir often for 20 to 30 minutes.Whether you use water, milk, or, our favorite, chicken stock to cook the grits in, they are sure to bring flavor and an unmatched thickness that you can’t get with generic, store-bought grits. To protect product integrity, store in the refrigerator or freezer as our grits contain no preservatives or additives. These grits are non-GMO and gluten-free. 2-pound cloth bag.

Lavington Farms popular Charleston Gold Aromatic rice is the aromatic off-spring of the much-heralded Carolina Gold variety that has flourished in the lowcountry’s kitchens for decades. The rice is characterized by its rich golden hull and distinct, unmatched nutty flavor. The grain is cultivated and harvested right here in the lowcountry of South Carolina. Produced by Lavington Farms, the Charleston Gold Aromatic Rice is representative of the perfect marriage of a quintessential southern staple and a delectable basmati rice with deep international roots. This gold aromatic rice was developed right in South Carolina in the late 20th-century by Drs. Buford Shepard of Clemson University and Gurdev Kush of the International Rice Research Institute. The duo sought to create a short stature gold hulled rice that kept the traditional plush mouth feel of Carolina Gold and maintained the distinct fragrance of an East Indian cool weather rice. Dr. Anna McClung continued to refine the plant into what it is now: Charleston Gold. Today, the rice is used in the homes of cooks nationwide, in professional and restaurant kitchens throughout the Lowcountry, and frequently pops up on a number of menus in Charleston’s bustling culinary scene. This rice is specially formulated to be served and soak up flavor. We recommend piling it under jambalaya or pairing it with a slab of country-style steak for the perfect base grain to absorb seasoning and add a savory smell and taste that is all its own. If you can't get enough to just buy one, you can try Charleston Gold Aromatic Rice 3 PackPackaging: 17-ounce paper bag.

Delicately sweetened, textured, and slightly tangy, this spread brings a sweet dimension to meats or cheese plates. This Charleston Favorites Peach Chutney comes from the Food for the Southern Soul brand, created by gourmand and restaurateur Jimmy Hagood. Food for the Southern Soul celebrates the quintessential foods and flavors of the Lowcountry, Appalachia, Gulf, Piedmont, and beyond. Among the chutney, offerings range from other condiments, such as pepper jelly and barbecue sauce, to ingredients like coarse-ground grits to artisanal gumbo. Our Favorite Ways to Use Peach Chutney Don’t let this spread’s peachiness deter you–it shines in savory applications and brings brightness to meaty, rich foods. Serve it with pork chops, chicken, Sweet and Salty Snack or a flaky white fish. Or use it to dress up appetizers: Try dipping spring rolls into it, or dollop it over pimento cheese and crackers.
