White Hominy
White Hominy is a nixtamalized corn product common in Mexican and Southwestern cuisines, often used in dishes like pozole or as a chewy base for stews and soups. The nixtamalization (alkaline cooking) process gives hominy its distinctive texture and flavor and improves the corn's culinary versatility. It is primarily a starchy ingredient, providing 79g of carbohydrates per 100g, with modest amounts of protein. Nutritionally it delivers energy and some plant protein but is relatively low in fiber and micronutrients compared with whole intact grains and vegetables; it can be a useful bulk ingredient in meals but is best paired with vegetables, legumes or lean protein to round out nutrition.
