Has this corn undergone Nixtamalization? I want real hominy!

Yes it has. I have taken a photo of the back of the product and have attached it to my review.

Do you have to soak the dry hominey? If so overnight?

I rinsed it thoroughly, then left it to soak in clean cold water overnight, then rinsed it again, then cooked it in fresh water (bring to the boil then lower to a simmer, add stock or herbs here if you like) for 2 hours until it was tender. It might take up to three hours depending on your stove.

Can I use this to make true, Southern American grits?

I would say no. I think Grits are usually ground hominy, as with Italian polenta, so the grits are like coarse sand in texture before you cook them. This is whole pieces of dried corn, but with the corn cracked into pieces to make it easier to cook.

Is overnight soaking enough or donI have to male nixtamal with lime?

Just soak it overnight following the instructions on the packet. Drain and rinse the next day before cooking.

The pigeons liked it

I decided to make Grits, just out of curiosity. Never again.. It's only suitable for gitting the road when it's icy..... sorry.

Will buy again!

I use this to prepare a Mexican dish. Ideally I would like the hominy to be full instead of torn in smaller pieces, but the flavour is exactly what I was expecting it to be and it cooked very quickly. Prompt delivery and great value for money. Will definitely buy again!

Good product.

The product is fine. Unfortunately, it was delivered late. Not the sellers fault, but EVRI, who in my experience have never delivered as promised. Fortunately they don't do pharmacy deliveries, otherwise, there would be fatalities
