How is Hominy Prepared?
Hominy is made by soaking whole corn kernels in a lime solution, allowing them to soften and swell. After the hull is removed, the kernels are rinsed, cooked, and prepared for packaging. The result? A tender, fluffy hominy that’s ideal for turning everyday dishes into satisfying, full-bodied meals.
