About HOMINY

Canned white hominy from Spartan, a McIlhenny Company store brand, made from nixtamalized white corn packed in water with salt. Sodium bisulfite is added to help preserve the characteristic pale color. Per 100g: 56 kcal, 0.8g protein, 12g carbs, 0g fat, 0.8g fiber. White hominy has a milder, more neutral flavor than the golden (yellow corn) variety. Nixtamalization with an alkali solution transforms field corn into hominy, releasing bound niacin and making it nutritionally distinct from untreated corn. Used in traditional dishes including posole, hominy grits, and menudo. Naturally gluten-free. Contains sulfites. Ready to use after draining; can be eaten as a side dish or incorporated into soups and stews.

Ingredients

PREPARED WHITE CORN. WATER, SALT, SODIUM BISULFITE ADDED TO HELP PROMOTE COLOR.
