THAT is confusing too!!!! Here is a quote I found but it doesn’t some definitive: “Most grits in the South are traditionally made from a class of corn called dent corn whereas in Italy, most polenta is made from a class of corn called flint corn, which holds its texture better. Why do these different classes matter? Because of the different type of corn, grits can even come across as almost mushy while polenta is often more coarse and toothsome.” http://www.thekitchn.com/polenta-versus-grits-whats-the-difference-187807
You know, my polenta wasn’t coarse so…???!!!
