If you’ve ever searched for ground corn in the dry goods section of your grocery store, you know: It can be rather confusing. There’s cornmeal and grits and polenta, oh my! Cornmeal is available in white or yellow, and sometimes has no indication about the size of the granules on the packaging. Some packages of grits and polenta have “instant” or “quick” labels (which you should avoid if at all possible). And labeling like “instant polenta cornmeal,” “enriched white hominy” on a canister of old-fashioned grits and “corn grits also known as polenta” just makes my head spin even more.
