Where to buy REAL (not instant) grits in Philadelphia?

Hi! I need to make grits for dinner this Saturday and I can't seem to find real grits. Does anyone know where to purchase them in the Center City/South Philly area? Please let me know. Thanks!

    i've bought grits from the amish stand in the reading terminal market, but i'm no grits expert. their oats, though, i do make a ton of, and it's great.

      Just got back from Reading Terminal. Kauffman's carries grits (and a million other types of grains). Thanks everyone!

      Essene on 4th, just below bainbridge (Monroe?) has organic grits in their bulk food section.

        I would try Whole Foods. They have lots of different grains.

          I don't know how picky you are, but we just buy our grits at the superfresh.
          Pretty basic, dirt cheap, tasty. But i don't know from grits, it's possible purists/southerners would be horrified. They're not instant, though, that much I can say for sure.
