Can grits be substituted for cornmeal?

Yes, grits can be substituted for cornmeal in some recipes. Grits are made from coarsely ground cornmeal, so they have a similar flavor and texture to cornmeal. However, grits are typically cooked in water or milk, while cornmeal is typically used to make dry goods like cornbread and muffins. Therefore, you may need to adjust the liquid content of your recipe if you are substituting grits for cornmeal. Additionally, grits may not be suitable for all recipes that call for cornmeal, such as those that require a fine texture or a crispy crust.
