I grew up eating white hominy grits. To get hominy, you have to soak dried white corn in lye until it swells 2-3 times its original size , dry it and coarse grind to make grits. Coarse ground corn is still corn meal where I come from.

My mom used to have that same type of sifter. It was my job to sift the flour. Such fond memories of me and my mom in the kitchen. One of my favorite memories of her and I in the kitchen was when she would make me a very, very small flour tortilla. Nice vid! I love grits. 💜

Those grinding plates are not like the old days… they are glued together bits of rock, have to be careful what you grind…. NO POPCORN. My uncle used to make mills by hand, up in North Ga… cutting the grinding plates out of raw granite… this ain’t that. I should add I own one of these (KoMo virtually identical), and I would purchase again, great for small batches. Just saying it's not exactly like the old days, and the fabricated rocks are not nearly as robust as natural rock.

You've inspired me to try something new. I love grits. I use cornmeal a lot. I always try to find plain cornmeal in the stores and I often can't find it. I never thought of doing my own. Thanks for this video!

I can't wait to grow my own corn. We moved to Missouri and I'm getting used to the soil. Its much different than where I moved from. Seems this part of Missouri likes to grow rocks! Ugh.

Can I store my seed corn in the freezer and it still be viable to plant?.. or what temp should I store it at?

@gardeningwithhoss 6 күн бұрын

ither way, be sure the seed is as dry as possible before placing in storage. One of the more practical methods for storing small quantities is to place leftover seed in sealable jars or other airtight containers and store in a cool, dark area such as the refrigerator (not the freezer)

Question: can’t you just grind that really fine on your mock mill for cornmeal? Or grind it like you did on a course, setting for other things? Rather than having to use the screens?

yes, you can.

What should I spray my corn with for rust, and do I have to tarp to clean the soil for that? Started in the old corn just as it was getting ready to pick, and then moved to the fall corn? I swear, when I use to garden, I never had trouble with anything. Now I have trouble with everything. What the heck?

@gardeningwithhoss Жыл бұрын

Treat with a fungicide during tasseling or early silking. No to tarping soil. hosstools.com/product-category/pest-control/

Should we nixtamalize our corn before we make grits or cornmeal or is this only to make corn tortillas?

@gardeningwithhoss 10 ай бұрын

We do not.

@willbass2869 6 ай бұрын

If you're going to be eating a lot of grits/polenta/masa then you should go the hominy (nixtamalize) route because the lye solution engages an enzymatic process to produce Vitamin B. If you have a high corn diet without Vitamin B you can develop "pellegra", which was a scourge across the South. Pellegra / rickets leads to severe bone weakness. You'll see pictures of "bow legged" people who had high corn diets without nixtamalization

Why is dent corn described as inedible for humans in online references and only suitable for animal feed? Is it because it isn’t suitable as fresh sweet corn? Seems like modern society has lost touch with the past.

@gardeningwithhoss Жыл бұрын

Not sure, the Jimmy Red, Hickory King and Ohio Blue is the only type we use for corn meal and grits.
