About Hominy, canned, yellow
Canned yellow hominy is dried corn that has been nixtamalized, treated with an alkali like lime water, which softens the kernels, loosens the hulls, and makes the niacin bioavailable in a way it is not in untreated corn. The result is a starchy, chewy kernel with a distinctive flavor that is earthier and more complex than sweet corn. Fiber is moderate and calories are low to moderate. It is a pantry staple in Southern cooking, where it forms the base of grits when ground, and in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines, where whole kernels go into pozole. Underused outside those traditions.
