Corn grits
The ripe corn cobs contain grains rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and nutrients. The grits obtained after their crushing and grinding retain all of the beneficial properties of the corn. The grits are not chemically processed - they don't contain GMOs or artificial coloring. You can recognize this cereal product by its delicate golden color without any unnatural additions.
The clear plastic packaging allows you to see the product and confirm its purity and high quality. The Euroleaf - European certificate - means that the Ecorod corn grits meet the EU's strict requirements for organic products. The grits are ground to a fine fraction and they cook in a matter of minutes.
Three facts about organic corn grits:
- Crushed corn contains a lot of fiber, which helps to improve digestion and lose weight. The content of calcium, potassium, nickel, copper, iron, phosphorus and magnesium prevents the development of cardiovascular and oncological diseases, atherosclerosis and anemia.
- Due to the large amount of B vitamins, corn grits have an antidepressant effect. Their delicate texture and pleasant taste give a feeling of fullness and leave you in a good mood.
- Organic corn grits are considered low-allergenic because they are gluten-free. They can be included in the diet even for young children.

Chemical composition of a product is characterized by calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fibres and vitamins. For organic products, these parameters significantly depend on natural factors – air temperature and precipitation during vegetational season, dry or rainy season, geographic latitude and longitude of cultivation, botanical grain varieties, and soil type. It is impossible to foresee all the factors, so these values are average and indicative only.
