  1. Hi! I’m curious how you landed on the 1C water to dry ratio when the bag for the instant polenta advises 3C water to 1C grits for 4 servings. To end up with 1 serving, you need 1/4C, or 4T, grits, which is 2x the amount in your recipe. I find it difficult to believe that a hungry backpacker serving is half that of a normal human, even if there is supersizing going on. Thoughts?
