Quaker Instant Grits Original, 1 oz 12 Count

I don't know how others have been preparing these, but I find that they do NOT cook in the microwave. They stay hard unless you cook them on the stovetop for 15-20 minutes, and even then they never get a creamy texture. I am honestly not sure if it is even safe to eat them after merely microwaving, since the corn is raw (there is a warning about this on the package saying to thoroughly cook them).

I absolutely love grits regardless of cooking method. One question though. Would you consider a no-salt or reduced-salt version of the instant? Salt is a major issue for Americans with hypertension or kidney disease. And I do love the portion control with the instant packages.

I've been eating the regular Quaker oats grits for a while now. But I thought I would just buy the instant to make breakfast a little faster. This stuff is got lots of added salt that I never put in mine when cooking the regular. I would not buy this again because the salt takes away from the grits itself

For perfect consistency grits, mix 2 packets with 3/4 cups of water. Microwave for 1 minute, then for 30 seconds in two 15 second intervals (so it doesn't bubble over). Add in 1 tbsp of butter and a half serving of cheese :) Delicous, perfect texture breakfast grits for 350 calories. E

I love the instant grits package. Quick & easy but why do you have so much sodium, it does not fit in on a heart healthy diet, I purchased the quick grits but I made a mess. It would be nice if there was an option with lower sodium or no sodium. Thanks!
