This popular ingredient is rooted in indigenous cuisine, particularly in Mexico, where it forms the basis of dishes like pozole. Hominy is not only rich in flavor but also a good source of dietary fiber and essential vitamins, making it a nutritious choice. While it is higher in calories compared to regular corn, its unique texture and ability to absorb flavors elevate any dish.
