Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Here's what it is: From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominy Hominy is dried corn (maize) kernels, reconstituted by soaking in lye -water. Its chief uses are as animal feed and the source of grits , masa , and in various recipes or as a side dish. The process of soaking the dried corn in the lye-water removes the husk from the corn, making it easier to process (a process that dates back nearly 10,000 years), and also converts some of the niacin in the maize into a form more absorbable by the body. Some recipes using hominy include menudo , a tripe and hominy stew; hominy bread, hominy chili, casseroles and fried dishes ================ It's very popular in the southern states and I think it's the basis for grits that they love. I've only seen it in cans, it's not a fresh food. Look in the vegetable section of a large grocery. Skip On 4 Aug 2004 at 13:37, Candace Podratz wrote: > > Now I KNOW I've never seen that before.

When I worked in a tortilla making factory in the early 70's we used 50# bags of lime to dump into our big stainless vats of corn in order to prepare them for making corn tortillas. Never did use lye. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.

Another way would be to soak the hominy in ACV for a day or so to neutralize the lye. -- Peace, love and light, Don Quai " Spirit sleeps in the mineral, breathes in the vegetable, dreams in the animal and wakes in man.
