Grits is a type of maize porridge and a food common in the Southern United States

consisting of coarsely ground corn. This is similar to many other thick maize-based porridges from around the world, described under the article on polenta. It also has a lesser resemblence to farina, a thinner porridge.

Hominy grits is another term for grits, but explicitly refers to grits made from nixtamalized corn, or hominy.
