I look forward to watching you show us how to make hominy. Please remember, some of us are total ignoramuses on the subject. I was told that the difference between corn and seed corn is the difference between now and the future; if you are given a choice between corn and seed corn, you grab the seed corn and RUN!

Those sunset scenes get me EVERY time!! 😍 I have never seen corn the size of that hominy. Not even here in Texas where everything is supposed to be bigger and better! 🤣 Those kernels and ears are huge! My arms and hands hurt just thinking about that stuff going through that corn sheller! Despite the fact we grew acres of corn when I was a kid, I honestly did not know a lot of what you have shared about different varieties. I am really enjoying learning about it and so much more from you. It would really be awesome if you get to share a visit with your Cherokee friend one day! I bet he has some great stories and wisdom he could impart on folks. Don’t tell the other KZfaqrs, but I think you’re my favorite and I am really excited to see your follower count and views growing!! 😁

I learn new things with every episode of yours. The selection criteria explanation made all kinds of sense, I just never considered it. I’m going to use these principles for everything I grow. While I’ve never tasted hominy (in fact I don’t know what hominy is), I tried grits once. I didn’t care for them due to the texture. I really like cornbread.
@vickisavage8929

Hominy is field corn (NOT sweet corn!) that has been processed with alkali, traditionally from hardwood ash. This was done by native Americans in both hemispheres to increase the digestability and nutrient availability of the corn, which most Europeans thought unnecessary - and suffered from beriberi (thiamine, vitamin B1) and pellagra (niacin, vitaminB2) (severe nutrient deficiency diseases) from it.
