Marsh Hen Mill Stone Ground Jimmy Red Grits, 24 OZ

Jimmy Red, an open-pollinated corn, is a Lowcountry strain of the ancient Appalachian eight-row red dent landrace. The rich and oily germ creates an incredible sweet and nutty flavor profile prized by farmers, millers, and distillers alike. Marsh Hen Mill's Jimmy Red Grits are a success story for Marsh Hen Mill and all of those who believe in reviving good things from the past that have been forgotten. Greg spent eight years cultivating the almost-extinct variety of kernels on Edisto Island. This mission all started with a few preserved samples from James Islander Ted Chewning. Sean Brock was interested in bringing back the variety to his restaurants and Greg and the family were able to help make that happen.
