I'm Mexican and these practices are still a normalcy and very common.

[@ARCSTREAMS]

are tortillas and massa etc made from this kind of corn or do you also use regular yellow or white corn too?

[@timesthree5757]

Their still common in the hills and hollers.

[@chrisrussell8402]

After seeing this video this spring I ordered a pound of the corn from her etsy store. It was 14 feet tall and I got 2 or 3 ears per stalk. I was amazed at how sweet it was for an old dent corn variety. Some ears I got were 24 inches long. She was a pleasure to deal with and this is truly a great variety of corn. I am currently drying it to try my hand at making homney this winter. Great video series.

[@patriciamelton6810]

My momma use to make homemade hominy. Only she made a large quantity because she wanted to freeze some. She mixed corn with lime water in a no. 10 washtub, let it set for several days until all the shells easily came off the corn. Then she rinsed and rinsed and then rinsed it a third time. Then it was done. OMG !!! It was amazing !!!! I can't explain how good it is. The stuff you get in a can is a joke compared to homemade. If there were more people that could taste this, more people would like hominy and would make it. I cannot thank you enough for posting this !!!

[@antoniojaramillo5441]

Mmmm we make it here in New Mexico we call it Posole we add pork and green or red Chile we do it every year for the holidays along with pork tamales and other goodies

[@rainthunder7547]

This woman is beautiful from the inside out. Her knowledge on hominy, old school cooking and processing techniques and sustainability is inspiring. This video made my evening! 😀

[@roadschoolerusa9621]

I dont know what led me here, we have also hominy in my country ,we eat it as a dessert with a fresh coconut grate( a source of coconut milk),brown sugar/condensed milk and a lil bit of salt. Gosh i missed eating it already.we call it “ Binatog” It smells and taste so good.perfect for my coffee.

[@Coweta_Curios]

Iam Choctaw and we make a hominy dish called Tanchi Labona. Boil your hominy with chunks of your favorite meat, traditionally deer, elf or buffalo but later pork was used as were chicken gizzards or necks. Just water, hominy and your meat... maybe a little salt to taste

[@dwightehowell6062]

Locals burned wood and made hominy with wood ashes which cost nothing.

[@MrCrchandler]

Baking soda works as well. My grandmother made several bushels of corn a year worth of hominy using baking soda

[@tybrady1935]

Sounds a tiny bit different than the nixtamalization process for corn for tortillas. That process calls for one percent by weight for the calcium hydroxide and it’s not cooked as long. This recipe seemed to call for quite a bit more calcium hydroxide, but it is a different end product. Looks yummy, I’ll make some!

[@melsmith5100]

If only I could meet her in person. She's gentle, caring and friendly. Feels like family already.

[@MrAlex102793]

lol that repetitive hominy, hominy, hominy caught me off guard.

[@patricialester7286]

I love hominy. I love it with the southern pork and fried with butter. It's wonderful to eat.

[@Grandoc1]

My family grew Hickory King corn growing up. Local farmers don't grow it because most people like the sweeter hybrids. We grew it for hominy and I think it makes the best pickled corn. After many failures I was finally able to make pickled corn. Those memories of my childhood came rushing back. My wife and I live in WV just past the KY state line. We are both retired so we just might make a trip to Mount Olivet.

[@talkwithtiffanychannel]

I’m so excited to try making hominy 😄 What a treasure this episode was!

[@BonnieInBama]

Tim, I can remember my dad making hominy a few times when I was a sprout. The urge to make it myself has flung up on me, and my corn is in the lime water as we speak. Thanks for doing this segment!

[@t.c.mcqueen2350]

Now I know what I am making for dinner tonight "Hominy, Chicken Verde Soup". Heading to the market for the ingredients to cook this soup in a minute. Thanks Tim and Nikki.

[@daggermeister5716]

The lady is so calming. Idk what it is about her but she just has such a soothing vibe and radiates so much knowledge with every word. I wish she was my grandma 😆

[@jeffduvall737]

my GGmother had palegra and is a survivor of the carlisle indian school

[@TruthAndLight4995]

Glad you are keeping that heirloom variety of corn growing!

[@kellyokamoto1604]

SO FASCINATING!!! We've eaten hominy sparingly over the years as our go-to starch has been rice. I've recently been "enlightened" about this age-old staple and now we love it!!! I knew it was of the corn family but did not know all you've shared in this vid, so thanks!!!

[@Kjones238]

she seems like a nice lady. This is what makes me love your channel so much, that you have different guests teaching us new things. :)

[@cardochav8697]

I like the calcium hydroxide as it adds some extra calcium to the corn. However I’ve heard the ashes add a nice flavor.

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

You are a truly lovely lady. Real beauty Is seen in beautiful eyes that smile. Only 56 yrs to figure such simple things out. Anyways hi from a cowboy in Texas

[@bcmilatino0116]

Thats so interesting how homny is made. Im in Honduras most everyone up here in the mountains are farmers.. I would like to learn about these processes to share with the people here

[@ovh992]

Hominy is the bomb! I make hominy & vegetable stew with a tomato base. Delicious!!

[@crustytater6987]

LOVE me some Hominy. Especially the Yellow Hominy. I'll usually fry it up in the skillet with butter and sprinkle it down with Parsley and Garlic Powder. But also,I'll mix in it a Big batch of Tex-Mex for the Family and they absolutely LOVE it. I'll usually slice up some smoked sausage in a cast iron skillet,with butter and mix in some sweet kernel corn,Hominy,black beans,bell peppers,onions,diced tomatoes,and a can of sliced potatoes. Usually I'll make a large batch of Homemade Cornbread to go with it as well.

[@TimFarmerCK]

Yum!

[@sunflowersundries9734]

Nothing is on the level around here. I have to prop up my gas stove so the butter doesn't all run to the front of the skillet!

[@timothymason3423]

Gotta Love Her good explanations well descript"

[@KissMyBiscuits]

OMG, hominy & cornbread! 😋 You’re taking me back to my childhood!

[@jennlee777]

Mexican food....Mmmmm!!

[@scripulance.1901]

I like the native refrence to natives nice got you a 👍

[@MoYvStarkey]

Soaking it in calcium carbonate makes it a super food.

[@jeffduvall737]

fried in bacon grease, onions, garlic, and peppers ---choctaw style

[@gulfchef]

Good segment. I was familiar with the steps in making Hominy but had forgotten. Thanks for reacquainting me with this very interesting product of early Americana.

[@Quarton]

This brings back lots of memories of my mom making hominy for our family on our farm (west-central Illinois). Thanks for sharing this video! (One of my sisters has the old hand-sheller that used to be down in the horse barn. It's got go be well over 100 years old.)

[@TimFarmerCK]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Catlady77777]

I recently rediscovered hominy! I get the giant cans from the Latino section in grocery store & divide into quart bags & freeze. Saute in a little bacon fat with salt & plenty fresh ground black pepper. Truly, amazingly delicious! Thanks for video.

[@plk5520]

I like how nice and clean your corn looked when you added it to the water. When I got to that step and statrted stirring it a bunch of debris and what appeared to be corn weevils floated to the surface. The more I stirred, the more weevils appeared. I removed them and continued with the nixtamalization process, but I hope that it's not a sign of poor quality or stale corn.

[@GaiaCarney]

I make pear butter as Jennifer does and I don’t need any sugar or pectin! It’s plenty sweet 😋

[@TUNITMOM]

What a fascinating history of Hominy. I never realized how it was made. In fact, I've never really heard about hominy before tonight, I love learning about new things. This seems like a lost specialty, Thank You for sharing this video.

[@straitsouthern8]

This showed in my feed and the entire video fascinated me. Simple life seems to bring me peace. I could watch this on a rainy day on my front porch.

[@hatefulcupcake460]

I've always wondered if people can make paw paw jelly

[@ElPasoJoe1]

When my family moved up from South America I had my first taste of hominy. I loved it. Soon after I had hominy grits - how is that made?

[@soinda87]

Have used ashes before in Kenya this is interesting

[@MSEDzirasa2015]

What is heirloom corn? This is what corn should look like; full and wholesome like we have in Africa.You need to take your research there and see corn as you've never seen before. I am very surprised that every mention of the dried corn in this video, was confined to the Americas, when Africans have as many a variation of corn preservation, as well as recipes very similar to those of the natives of the Americas. We never make hominy with chemicals in Africa. Our hominy has always been boiled whole with plain water, sea salt, with dried peanuts added halfway during cooking, and served as a snack. We also never fry our hominy. We eat it whole like popcorn, or steamed with peanuts in string tied, corn husks. Corn has been a staple of Africa for centuries and has always been processed with plain water to achieve excellent healthful results. The outer husk of the dried corn isn't indigestible just because it is old and dry; In fact, the B vitamins lie directly under it; that's why we soak it for three days and mill it into corn meal or mealy meal, for most of our staple corn recipes. We also pound the kernels in massive wooden mortars and transfer them onto wide flat woven sieves, to be tossed and crushed or left whole for grits or hominy porridge... The notion that the husks are indigestible is nutritionally unfounded. In Ghana, when dried corn kernels are boiled, they burst like popped corn with the husks clinging to the kernels and serving as the 'roughage', or fiber as it is called in America, for a balanced meal. The only time we husk our dried corn is when we use it for hominy/grits porridge, which comes out as a thick gruel, full of tender hominy goodness.

[@TimFarmerCK]

We need to come to your country and do a show with you! Thank you for sharing information...

[@MSEDzirasa2015]

Wow thank you... You will be very welcome and treated like hominy royalty lol...:)

[@TimFarmerCK]

Where are you located? I would like to see how your process differs.....very interesting!

[@EyesOnIlia]

What a fascinating video, I love her, what an intelligent gem of a person!

[@contreeman]

got 7 stalks of hickory cane corn growing in my garden. 2 nd year. great video tim GOD BLESS

[@usakiwi5222]

Thanks Tim - When I was little we had hominy and I liked it. Then 45 years later I was given a can of it and I thought what am I going to do with that. I placed it in some homemade soup and it was wonderful. Now I have 2 more ideas on how to cook with it. Loved hearing about the history of King corn as well.

[@rodolfopadilla413]

thanks Tim for sharing the video thanks and blessings from Azusa California

[@pcsi27]

Would love to set around that table while my mother and this lady had a long talk.

[@sharonlatour6230]

I love hominy! I was curious on how it's made! Thank you Tim! Thank you Jennifer. Your meal looks delicious!

[@cindysteffens8065]

What a sweet lady. I love hominy and grits.

[@ByDesign333]

That's a beautiful hair style...Natural. Very nice video! 👍🏆

[@jsnuggs100]

I just enjoy Hominy! I'm watching this segment to learn. Very interesting and insightful. Will continue watch you. Thanks!

[@TimFarmerCK]

Thank you!

[@1000crazypeople]

Awesome video. I never knew how this was made

[@ronbarringer1539]

Tim, I love your vids. I first found you when I was learning about the old Long Rifles. Please keep up the great work.

[@TimFarmerCK]

Thank you Ron!

[@mxntishiphop]

That lady is gorgeous

[@marilynkeys1349]

My mother and grandmother always made this. Love it.

[@bodeine454]

The first time I ever tried or heard of hominy was around 1978 in Orgonia, Ohio at a place called Pioneer Village. It is a park that has many old log cabins and structures in it. They had a different log structure for different activities that were going on like weaving, blacksmithing, cutting sugar cane etc. They used to cook the old fashion way in big cast iron kettles over an open wood fire and you could smell the hominy from the other side of the park. The way that I had it was the way the gentleman cooking it told me to try it, with sorghum drizzled over it. I was hooked from then on. I've always associated hominy with some type of sweet syrup on it but I'd like to try it other ways also. This is the inspiration I need, thank you....

[@TimFarmerCK]

You are very welcome!

[@vondawalker2140]

I love white hominy and have always wanted to know how to make it. Also wondering how to can it. I’m assuming it’s canned just like corn? Thank you so much for sharing. I have my seed and am planting it this year. God bless.

[@maureenparran8918]

I love this video. I am growing Hickory King corn and had wondered how to process it.

[@aristotlechipotle2669]

Y’all don’t even gotta go way back. I’m Mexican and I’m making this in my kitchen rn lol

[@mrfortion408]

Make the hominy into pozole and that is what Mexicans use it for with pork and chicken stew

[@ARCSTREAMS]

so after it has been processed and dried do they juts leave it in bags like that at room temp or you need to put in fridge ?

[@jasonmorgan7939]

Great video. Thanks for finding and sharing her with us.

[@elag5881]

6:40 I've never heard a more true statement in my life

[@ARCSTREAMS]

good explanation on the process, lovely nice lady there

[@theorangevestarmy4255]

God bless her, and thanks for the recipe!

[@TheOrion101]

I found this fascinating 👀

[@budmoore8144]

Great video i always wondered what hominy was

[@TimFarmerCK]

+bud moore (buckshot32000) Thank you!

[@donmiles5080]

To me is tastes like giant grains of rice.

[@RRaucina]

Great lady! One in a thousand.

He looks like Mel Gibson from the side.

[@parriseingram4065]

Very informative i really enjoyed your video.

[@TimFarmerCK]

Shhhh....I didn't want anyone to know!!! lol

[@mickerdoodle51]

Thank you mam.

[@elmobasher]

Great lady, great episode

[@aaaaa1957]

Thanks

[@CANDYZANE69]

I am eating fried white hominy right now. My mom used to make this for us when I was a kid. Still enjoy it.

[@billierpaxton9260]

We always called Hickory King '8 Row'. Some folks call it 'Thumb Nail'.

[@mollymollie6048]

This is interesting! Thank you so much! The base water getting the coating off reminds me of how my mother always made corn on the cob…she’d slice a knife down each “row” because she said if you didn’t, you couldn’t digest it. I never knew anyone else who did that…but maybe that makes sense (at least her idea..may not have saved the nutrients, I don’t know) considering what you talked about. (She also loved hominy but never made it. The corn “de-cobber” machine is really cool!

[@domib.3924]

Cool, but could you include the metric system?

[@TimFarmerCK]

Respectfully, no. This show is a television show aired in the U.S. We post videos here after it airs. We don't use metric.

[@mikezbr]

How did the natives know? They got some ashes in a pot by accident and got lucky just like most discoveries. Luck, that how.

[@debbiegibson576]

Tim, I hope you received my email about "Sunflower Sundries" yesterday, but just in case...... I retired in August of this year and since then a few of my church friends and I have been searching interesting places in Kentucky to visit. After watching your show that you and Nikki host I saw this interesting lady, Jennifer, owner of Sunflower Sundries. One of us ladies lives in Casey County, the other in Boyle County and I live in Jessamine County. We " finally " got together and made a road trip up there yesterday. I must say that it was worth every minute! So nice, met Janet, spoke with Jennifer via cell phone. Such nice folks! We are returning !!!! Love your show Tim and Nikki !!! May God bless you all .PS, You called me a few years ago and left a message on my office phone. I had requested the recipe for Venison Stew. My Dad, Denver Townsend, was number one in Archery in KY in the 70's. I would love to see this on your show again.Warm regards,Debbie Gibson

[@davidimhoff2118]

Great video Tim. Sounds like a blast. What a really amazing interview

[@AriKhuu]

Oh this woman is such a delight! So knowledgeable and eloquent.

[@CynthiaHunterNightwillow]

fantastic video..very informative and well done..thanks for doing this. I've always wanted to know the steps for this and now i know.

[@1000crazypeople]

sorry to be "that guy" but that table is definitely not level.

[@TimFarmerCK]

+Louis Bernard and does that homemade table being not level change the way the hominy tastes, or does it throw off the equilibrium of the planet, and change the tidal patterns in New Jersey?? lol

[@1000crazypeople]

+Tim Farmer Thank you for the laugh, lol.

[@evehernandez4736]

Yes my grandmother taught us how to make homemade hominey

[@cornflake73]

very interesting video, I love hominy corn. This lovely lady sure makes it look simple.

[@WhosMolly]

Great video. I love hominy and Jennifer you have made it a fun food as well.

[@enriquejaramillo4244]

Love your story telling wow, you're wonderful.

[@bethwiegand2957]

So lovely...thanks so much!

[@SuperRosebud1985]

How do yall can hominy.. I love your videos

[@victory6356]

Do the hulls fall to the bottom when rinsing it?

[@moomoopuppy5810]

Kind of a gross question but, will unchewed "Hominized" corn be digested and not come out whole when you use the restroom?

[@TimFarmerCK]

Let me check....I'll get back with you tomorrow morning....lol

[@Lastchef]

I Love Hominy, It's so good.
