What is hominy posole?
Traditional Mexican pozole (posole) is a rich, brothy soup made with pork, hominy, and red chiles.
Is posole the same as hominy?
And they will love it. The difference between regular corn hominy and posole comes by way of a process called nixtamalization, in which the corn is soaked in an alkaline bath of calcium hydroxide, aka lime. Lye, or more traditionally wood ash, can be used as well.
What is hominy made from?
Hominy comes from yellow or white maize, also known as field corn. Dried hominy kernels are soaked in an alkali solution of lye or slaked lime. This process, called nixtamalization, removes the hull and germ, making the corn easier to grind and cook with.
Is white hominy good for pozole?
Lots of Mexican dishes come in both green and red. But pozole can also step out in white. Hominy and broth are essential for all pozoles.
Is hominy healthier than corn?
Nutritionally, it’s pretty similar to corn. What makes it a better version of corn is the nixtamalization process which helps release more of its nutrients—niacin, or vitamin B3, gets separated from the corn so that it can be digested more easily. In its natural form, hominy can be suitable for a gluten-free diet.
Can you eat hominy out of the can?
Canned hominy is already cooked and you can eat it straight from the can. That said, it will taste better if you cook it first.

Does hominy taste like corn?
Cooked hominy is about triple the size of a raw sweet-corn kernel, but has an unmistakably nutty-sweet “corn” flavor. You can buy and cook dried hominy the way you’d prepare dried beans, but canned hominy is our go-to in the BA Test Kitchen.
