Questions about Dried corn
How do you cook dried corn kernels?
Rinse them, soak overnight, then simmer in fresh water until tender, usually for 1½–3 hours. Older or especially hard kernels can take longer; top up the water so they stay covered.
What can you make with dried corn?
Cooked kernels add texture to soups, stews and porridges. You can also dry-roast cooked kernels for a crunchy snack, or grind dried kernels into meal for breads and other dishes.
Is dried corn the same as hominy?
No. Hominy is corn kernels treated with an alkali, traditionally wood ash or lime, which loosens their outer skin and changes their texture. Dried corn can be used to make hominy, but ordinary dried kernels have not had this treatment.
How should you store dried corn?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. Protect it from moisture and insects; discard it if it smells musty or you see mould.
Can you grind dried corn at home?
Yes, if you have a grain mill or a strong grinder that can handle hard kernels. Grind only what you need, since freshly ground cornmeal loses quality faster than whole dried kernels.
Can you pop any dried corn?
No. Popping corn needs the right hard outer shell and moisture inside the kernel; ordinary dried corn may simply scorch or split. Use kernels sold specifically for popping.
