According to Betty Fussell, author of Crazy for Corn (Perennial, 1995), grits were originally made from ground hominy but today come from ordinary cornmeal. Hominy, she explains, is "dried whole corn kernels boiled with some form of alkali (lye from wood ash or lime slaked from limestone) to remove the kernel's tough outer skin." This technique was developed by ancient Native Americans. In Mexico, hominy is ground to make masa, the dough for corn tortillas and tamales, and also for masa harina, a finely ground corn flour.
