Stone-ground from Ohio-grown Blue Clarage corn, these heirloom grits cook up creamy and flavorful with a deep, nutty sweetness and striking blue color. A simple, nourishing food with roots that run generations deep.
Blue Clarage Corn is a piece of Appalachian history - an heirloom variety once grown by farm families across this region for its flavor, color, and resilience. Today, it’s being carefully revived by small growers who still believe food should have roots, character, and real nutrition.
Our Blue Clarage Grits are stone-ground in small batches from locally grown corn, keeping the germ and natural oils intact for the fullest flavor and creamy texture. The beautiful blue hue deepens as it cooks, and the taste is richer and more complex than white or yellow corn - slightly nutty, a little sweet, and unmistakably fresh.
When you serve these grits, you’re bringing more than a side dish to the table. You’re sharing a piece of the past - food that honors the land, the people who grew it, and the care that goes into every small batch. It’s wholesome, hearty, and deeply satisfying.
