Greasy grits bean.

. Greetings folks! I wanna find out the true history of that bean and its relationship to settlers back then in the South and Midwest. That bean was very popular among Appalachian folks back then, but was pretty common throughout the South and Midwest at the time. Are there any more documents of that bean being grown or used regionally by many folks back then since it hasn't been eaten much often? I've only found the info from Baker Creek and am searching for more truth to it than what's been presented. I'm currently growing for indigenous peoples and early settlers in my region and wanna unlock all doors to truth at this time. Please reach me if you all wanna present anything. Thanks!

I have heard of Greasy Grit and also have had seeds of Blue Greasy Grit, but I don’t know their origin. My seeds came from Remy who is now deceased. If I were to take a guess, she received them in a trade at One of the bean festivals that Bill Best hosts. I assume he hosts them, I don’t know for certain. I’m sure Bill Best would know the origin though.
