Hi! Based in southern ontario and I’m trying to eat more maize (i.e. corn) in the diet. I have had success with eating poridge made from hominy flour but it is quite pricey. Given that maize is so cheap, does anyone know where else to source maize from (other than the small bags of it at international food stores)? Like, is maize fed to animals excessively different from the maize for humans?
Is maize whole grain with the bran and germ? Or is it just a kind of cornmeal? Grits and polenta and fine or coarse cornmeal should be pretty easy to find. Or is it not popular in Canada? Try looking for stone ground corn meal if you want whole grain. Masa harina is another name for hominy flour you might try searching for. They’ve all (except the stone ground) always been pretty cheap and available where I live (Western us).
