Cooking Hominy from Dried

Another interesting (long!) article by a nutrition prof. Doesn't include a lot about about Southwest/Pueblo corn cultivation and culture tho. Gives an historical and nutritional perspective on corn/maize.

Corn and nixtamilization past and present

Interesting post.

I don't use wood ashes, I use saltbrush plant ashes, so don't know if there there's a difference between using one or the other.

Heat also has an effect on the process.

What's also interesting is that the skins stayed on the kernels in this person's post. The way it's done here - 1 cup per gallon/4L water per 8c/3.2lb/1.5kg corn and simmered with the corn - the skins slough off and dissolve after 2-3 hours.
Not sure I'd want to keep and eat the cellulose skins.

I could post some phots. I photograph food/cultivation/prep/cooking

Yes please!
