Firstly, the white corn from which these are made is not genetically modified, which so many other corn products, including grits, are. Bob's Red Mill explains how this happens and guarantees his products with care. Then, we were raised to enjoy grits as a mainstay for many meals, including breakfast. They can be eaten at any meal, even for dinner with other side dishes, tasty sauces, etc. Overall, this is a very important product to my family and possibly no other brand claims their products to be non-gmo. We are grateful to have access to these products.
