Canned Hominy, Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned hominy consists of dried maize kernels that have undergone nixtamalization, a process where corn is treated with an alkaline solution to improve digestibility and create its signature chewy texture and mild, earthy flavor. The drained, pre-cooked kernels retain a firm bite and serve as a gluten-free staple in soups, stews, and traditional dishes like pozole, offering a substantial source of dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. While draining reduces sodium content compared to the canned liquid, the kernels still retain some residual salt from processing.
