I grew up in New Mexico and had access to fresh hominy. Since moving to Texas the only hominy I could find was canned hominy. Canned hominy is over processed and tastes bland. I was enthusiastic to discover fried hominy for my posole. I followed the instructions for cooking dry hominy and was delighted to discover the taste of the fresh hominy I...

This CB is the best for Posole and I keep on freeze until I’m ready to make some. Cooks up perfectly after an overnight soak.

I am not a fan of Mr. McMillan and if I would have understood that this was not yours, I would not have ordered it.

I love The Hatch Chile Store's products! I live in Ontario Canada and always order from them for my New Mexico food fix. This dry Hominy makes up the main ingredient to an excellent pot of Posole!

Made posole for Christmas, came out good. My favorite thing about this is the hominy is already processed. You can't get that in California. There used to be a place on Amazon that sold it but they don't anymore. So this will be my goto place to purchase already processed Hominy

More than enough hominy to make a big dish of posole. Dried beans hold up so much better than canned hominy and are easy to prepare—just soak, drain and then boil until done.

Posole / Hominy FAQs

They're the same thing — 'hominy' is the English term, 'posole' / 'pozole' is the Spanish term (also refers to the stew made with it). Nixtamalized dried corn.

An ancient Mesoamerican process where corn is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution (typically slaked lime). This loosens the hull, increases nutritional value (releases niacin), and gives nixtamalized corn its distinctive flavor — the same process that turns corn into masa for tortillas and tamales.

Field corn (not sweet corn) — typically white or blue / dark varieties. The kernels are larger and chewier than table corn.

Sourced from southwestern growers. New Mexico and Colorado have a long tradition of nixtamalized-corn production.

Yes — cooked, drained hominy is great in chili, casseroles, side dishes, or even fried in butter. Some cooks grind it into masa for tortillas (advanced).
