Grits 112

FINE CUT (20–30 MESH)

Fat Content ≤ 1.0%

Moisture ≤ 13.5%

Granule Texture Fine Cut (25%)

Rapid-cooking fine granulation cut for crispy batter coatings, delicate extruded crisps, instant hot breakfast cereals, and infant nutrition bases.

Industrial Flaking Code: Grits 101

#10–#14 Sieve 1.4–2.0 mm Cut Flint Maize Endosperm

Grits 101 (Coarse Flaking)

Primary Breakfast Cereals & Heavy Porridge Cut

Grits 101 is the largest commercial granulation cut produced by precision dry-milling. Cut from the hard vitreous endosperm of cleaned flint corn with the germ completely excised, these large angular granules maintain structural integrity through aggressive steam-conditioning and mechanical roller flaking.

U.S. Mesh Range #10 – #14 Mesh

Metric Micron Size 1,400 – 2,000 μm

Crude Fat / Lipids ≤ 1.00% (Dry Basis)

Moisture Standard ≤ 13.50% (Max)

Bulk Density 0.72 – 0.82 g/cm³

Standard Shelf Life 12 Months Dry

⚙️ Compatible Machinery

Heavy-duty rotary steam cookers
Industrial twin-roll flaking mills
Slow-cook hominy porridge kettles

🍽️ Food Products & Uses

Crispy breakfast golden corn flakes
Traditional Southern hominy grits bowls
Rustic artisan cornbread loaves
Granola & whole grain cluster crunch

Brewery Standard: Grits 101A

#12–#16 Sieve ≤0.8% Fat Ultra-Low Brewer's Extract ≥79%

Grits 101A (Brewer's Low-Fat)

Ultra-Low Lipid Fermentation Adjunct for Premium Beers

Engineered specifically for commercial brewing mash tuns. Through an advanced multi-stage degerming process, the lipid content is tightly calibrated under 0.8%, preventing oil haze, oxidation, or head retention collapse in pale lagers, American pilsners, and craft spirits.

Snack Extrusion Benchmark: Grits 108

#14–#20 Sieve 0.85–1.4 mm Cut High Expansion 10–12x

Grits 108 (Medium Extrusion)

The Global Snack Benchmark for Direct-Expanded Puffs & Curls

The most versatile and highest-volume industrial corn grit in global food manufacturing. Calibrated within 850–1,400 microns, Grits 108 melts rapidly in high-shear extrusion barrels and expands instantaneously into uniform cellular puffs, curls, loops, and crunchies with zero blistering.

U.S. Mesh Range #14 – #20 Mesh

Metric Micron Size 850 – 1,400 μm

Crude Fat / Lipids ≤ 1.00% (Dry Basis)

Grits 112 (Fine Cut / Granular Meal)

Rapid-Cooking Fine Granulation for Crispy Batters & Baby Cereals

A finely calibrated granulation bridging the gap between medium grits and corn meal. Grits 112 hydrates quickly with hot or boiling water, creating silky smooth batters that hold superior crunch during deep frying or hot-air baking without absorbing excess cooking oil.
