Hominy is a whole-grain food that provides dietary fiber, which is essential for promoting digestive health, regulating blood sugar levels, and contributing to a feeling of fullness.
The nixtamalization process that creates hominy makes the niacin in corn more bioavailable. Niacin is a crucial B-vitamin for converting food into energy and supporting nervous system function.
Since hominy is made from corn, it is naturally free of gluten, making it an excellent and safe carbohydrate choice for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Hominy is made from whole corn kernels that have been soaked in an alkaline solution in a process called nixtamalization. This process removes the tough outer hull, softens the kernel, and unlocks nutrients like niacin, making them more available for absorption.
