ground polenta (corn grits) is fairly fine cracked corn, about the
same size as cracked wheat, or about the same size as a half grain
of long grain rice. You can bake with it or eat it as a hot cereal.
It is more coarse than cornmeal. This polenta is free of
preservatives and chemical additives. Keeps best if refrigerated or
frozen.
