Surprisingly, and this is coming from a person who is so Yankee, that he is closer to Canada than he is Tennessee, theres a local lady who makes her own hominy.
She gets a couple of bushels of shelled field corn, which people around here often use in lieu of wood pellets, and then she places it in plastic garbage cans with wood ashes and water.
She buries them in her yard, and then at some point in her crude processing, she rinses it, and replaces the wood ashes.
After, I think it was three cycles, she rinses it with freshwater, and then spreads it out on old window screens to dry.
After its dried, she eats it as is, or Grinds it with a coffee grinder into some kind of corn meal.
She said shes been eating field corn all her life.
So I guess her corn meal would be yellow cornmeal.
