Best Answer

Grits are typically made from corn. As commonly prepared, they are fairly high in iron (8% of your USDRA - good) but high in sodium and carbs (22% and 10%).

Potatoes are low in sodium, and high in carbs (including 26% of your USDRA for dietary fiber). They are also a rich source of Vitamin C in addition to iron.

Grits and potatoes are both sources of carbohydrates, but they have different nutritional profiles. Grits are made from ground corn, which provides some fiber and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Potatoes, on the other hand, are a good source of vitamin C and potassium, but they also have a higher glycemic index compared to grits. In terms of healthiness, it ultimately depends on individual dietary needs and preferences.
