Southeast Georgia Mill Still Producing Grits The Old-School Way

- Опубликовано: 3 ноя 2016
- Grits are synonymous with Southern breakfasts. One mill in Bulloch County is using a unique, old-fashioned method for grinding grits, as well as corn meal. The Monitor’s Damon Jones pays a visit to Freeman’s Mill…
Lmao when he said wanted some grits. Lol I love grits too. That southern accent is a delight
It's almost midnight and I'm having a biggo bowl of grits, with some salt, butter, shredded cheese, black peppers and hot sauce. Yumm!! Came here tried to find out how grits were made :)
Rojak 123 same here got a bowl of grits with butter and side of eggs and it’s midnight lol
It's almost one and I'm doing the same. I believe I've found my people.
I’m eating grits right now y’all lol
Same rn!
lol, I'm eating grits watching this too, but it's just salt and salted butter, but I do wanna try more flavors oh and sometimes I make apple syrup to go with it but it does take the salt and butter taste out though but it's nice still, but I can't have stuff that's too spicy so I just stay away from spicy stuff even if it's not actually that bad but I hate peppers so... My dad made the syrup first and then showed me since I live with my mom now but I want to know what those grey and black stuff is. Like is it that other corn or what cause I'm both very curious and cautious with my food ever since I discovered that certain food was triggering my sickle cell disease. What a pain in the neck it is since I got a taste of them and can no longer have them again without hurting. The only reason I'm still hurting even though I shouldn't be is because I can feel energy and so negative energy hurts along with stress and depression and this 24/7 pain I feel is stressing me so it's a loop only I know how to get out of but the problem is getting ppl to help me with it ;-; I've been depressed since I was 8, 8! and I still am. Tried to kill myself only 9 times so far but only the first 6 times was because of the disease. That's how bad it is for me and ppl ain't helping with how selfish and disgustingly rude they are >:( Like come on I didn't do anything and I can no longer try to not give them the satisfaction of letting them now how disturbed I am because of them. I shouldn't be near humans in the first place. It's mainly God's fault. He doesn't know everything pertaining to what righteousness really is and what is actually just so He kicked us out, well, less than half of us angels but only Lucifer and I saw the God of Destruction, but I have yet to meet the one that created both of them but I can feel its soul lingering about. *I shouldn't even be talking about godly stuff to you humans cause you can't understand what you don't want to understand cause you're all cowards cause the truth can't hurt you, only you can hurt yourself when it comes to the truth.* I still can't believe He only made one protector, me, the only and first angel to be made to protect! He should've made two incase one rebelled against Him so I don't have to deal with this sht >:(
Thank you all for the many kind comments. Your encouragement is most appreciated. We are still staying busy running the grits mill and enjoy visiting the folks we meet because of common interest. Thank you all for your support!
Blessings!

My Dad owned a Grits Mill when He was young. We had Grits every morning when I was growing up. Grits were not a side dish in Our house, they were the main course along with fresh biscuits every morning !!!
Are grits and boiled corn meal the same thing. I'm trying to settle a debate.
@@DiminishedStudios Really the only difference is that cornmeal is ground to a finer texture than grits.
@@DiminishedStudios No they're not. Stone ground grits are made when the entire kernel is ground up and separated into cornmeal or cornmeal flour which is a finer grind, grits which is a bigger grind, and the chicken scratch which is mainly the hull. These types of grits are slow to cook and taste much better than quick or instant grits. Instant grits are made from corn cooked in lye to break the kernel down chemically and then processed into grits. It will develop a completely different flavor. We own a traditional grist mill. And it's not called a grit mill so idk what that other person is talking about.
It's called a grist mill, not a grits mill.
Stunning and brave…
Had no idea grits was corn until now
I love me some grits, pure butter and a pinch of salt. I am ready for work.
Grits are the cure for the Statesboro Blues ya know🌽🍚🌽
May be that's why the song was writ, they ran outta grits...?
And I Thank you for making my breakfast better
Wow what an awesome company!
So far, I have not found any fresh milled grits that can top these! They are the best.
I LOVE GRITS!! any time I meet someone who doesn't eat grits, I give them a side eye 👀 👀 😅
Freakin' Awesome!!!! I need some of those grits!!! Too bad everything doesn't operate in an "old-school " tradition.... be a better world that's for sure!!!
These guys are awesome!
I’m enjoying a bowl of cheesy grits, here in Tulsa Oklahoma . Friends from Georgia made it. Best grits I’ve ever had
Oh man I love it, thank god someone doing this right way, grind stone
Thank God someone remembers.
Shrimp n grits all day baby
Thank you so much sir. You are appreciated
i bumped into this video at random. i ordered every product they make but the self rising flour knowing i'd never use it because i dont bake. hope it's as good as it looks!
juice mann well it's been eight months, was it as good as it looks?
Juice Mann are u alive?
nah bruh it’s been 5 years was it good?
@@Seahawksxnj RIP juice mann
Love that Printing Press just like what I took up in HS
Had no idea grits were corn 🌽😮
Haha thats awesome. I think its like a harder corn than regular sweet corn.
I can see the commercial now. "I don't often eat grits out here in the west but when I do, they are Freeman's Mill grits!"
I was visiting the south years ago and since I was new to grits, I ordered them for breakfast. The waitress asked "hominy?" And I said "give me 5 of them. I'm pretty hungry this morning".
Ba dum tish
AWESOME!
Good job !!!
Ain't nothing like eating G.R.I.T.S. first thing in the morning 😜
I make my grits with sugar and butter only. It’s SO good! I thank my girlfriend for introducing me to the simplistic but delicious combination
Ha! my dad did the same with my mom! XD I love it :D
Today I learned grits is corn.
Wow.
Keeping things simple are in fact cheaper. It doesn't take much to grind down a corn kernel so why complicate the matter which usually leads to higher prices.
Never had them till I joined the army.
Very Good!...
Eating a bowl of grits rn
True hominy grits made from nixtamalized corn was common when I was growing up. This just looks looks corn ground more coarsely than cornmeal to me. I'm sure it's good for what it is, but it's not old fashioned hominy grits.
You are right this is whole ground corn no good. Basically indigestible.
Do you sell & ship to on line customers.? Also.?
I love grits with sugar mmmmm
How many grits can you get in a bag? Will it make a bowl full?
There's no school like the old school!
So as being English, obviously have never tried the original style Grits shown here. They actually sound incredible and as close to authentic Organic as you can get. I think the closest thing we had in Europe was possibly Semilenia which was basically a sweetend version dessert with added suger and cream.
So close, yet so far. Bzzzt! The Italian doppelganger you were looking for was "polenta." The two are so alike, in fact, if one were to swap principle ingredients out for the either, no one but the most astute and discerning would even notice, much less take note. Incidentally, just now having a big bowl of shrimp and grits with made with polenta. Aw, who am I kidding, its 2am, I live alone and I'm not wearing any pants, I'm not eating out of a bowl, I'm eating straight out of the saucepan.
Is the corn you use sprayed with Roundup
In the morning i have mine with butter pinch of salt and sugar yum
Grits are gritty!
The guy who owns the mill looks like he belongs on the logo
I have never tried them. Lol
Vikki Gillespie go to the store and buy some quickly lol
How can I get Freeman’s grits??
So grits is corn. Got it
Well kiss my grits.
Do these grits go through the nixtamalization process with lye?
No
I’m can only find instant locally in stores
South African and still tryna figure out what gritz is. Ground up mealies? Mealie meal? Mealie powder? What is it?
URBAN MNGUNI its ground up corn
Megaman11 we have something similar. Stamped corn/mealies. We use it to cook umnqusho or samp and beans. But i don't understand how you manage to cooki it in 12 minutes. Ours takes hours.
URBAN MNGUNI oh i see so its practically the same thing huh
Megaman11 technically yeah. But now I'm just in awe that you're eating umngqusho with cheese and sugar and honey 😕😕😦. . . I just. . .do the black people put cheese in it too? How does it taste? I am both mortified and curious. I want to try it.
URBAN MNGUNI i either have it with cheese or just honey sugar and salt
👍
Can i make my own grits?
Absolutely not. That's not allowed.
Eating cheese grits right now
Hmmm this dudes name is Freeman from the south huh?
my last name is freeman
:D
Sorry, what you are making is cornmeal. When you boil cornmeal, you get cornmeal mush, also called hasty pudding. Grits is a different product. Why don't you study NIXTAMALIZATION, where the corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually limewater (but sometimes wood ash lye), washed, hulled, dried and ground into HOMINY GRITS. This is the way grits were made hundreds of years ago and used to be the way grits were made in the south. The process offers significant nutrition benefits. I am a southerner and I know that just grinding corn does does not make grits.
I am looking for real grits and it seems that everyone who grinds corn think they make grits. At least Quaker and Jim Dandy use a steam process to de-hull the corn.
Nice video but you didn't explain what makes grits. Grits IS NOT corn meal. It is made from soaking corn in a base, like lime, then drying the hominy that is created by this process. The hominy is then ground to create grits. You should not advertise your product as grits if it is just ground cornmeal.
Grits are a little bigger than cornmeal. I grind my own and sift the first time I get cornmeal and the second time I sift I get grits and what is left is ran through again or feed to my chicken
Folks that haven't had proper grits, don't know what their missing.
I like my grits with sugar and butter that's the way I was trying to eat them
I worked in a grain plant and trust me we had break downs every hr. This system looks simple, if it ain't broke dont fix it.
Btw 😉
Sugar > Salt
Hey Men, who limes your corn? Someone watching your video might get the impression that grits are just coarsely ground corn. (Had to chuckle at the contributor who didn’t know that grits or corn... reminds me of the urban high school kid I recently met who had no idea that bread contained ground up wheat seeds!). Anyway, of course, grits has always been limed corn, or what the Mexicans call nixtamilization, or what the English call pickling, with calcium hydroxide (lime). Do y’all do your own?
@LizaMari I eat hominy grits. I do not know about polenta.
But hominy is used to make grits same as tortilla chips. They can be eaten some times by folks who can't eat regular corn because of the hull.
Butter and sugar all day!
Conspiracy theory: grits is actually maggots! Thats where the word grits comes from, short for "gritters" ie CRITTERS!!
(OKAY none of that is verifiable and I just thought it up out of my a** )
Oh yes the devil's dandruff. grits give u shits
with slave labor?
*I don't like how he's molesting those grits without gloves.*
🤣🤣🤣
Can someone tell me the name of the company please?
