| − | '''Hominy''', also known as '''nixtamal''', is [[Cookbook:Corn|corn]] treated with [[Cookbook:Lye|lye]].

| − | The corn is soaked in water with lye to remove the hard outer hulls. This process makes the corn more palatable, easier to digest, and easier to process. The process also converts some of the niacin in the maize into a form more absorbable by the body.
