I evidently live in a really lame area of the country (which I knew already) and I cannot seem to
find dried posole corn or dried hominy in any supermarket or specialty grocery store in my area.
In fact, no one has ever heard of it. Does anyone know of any good sources online to find it, or
better yet, is there anyone in the northern suburbs of Detroit that have seen it in stores? I
really don't think I can handle having to use the canned variety in my posole anymore.

Thanks!

Try a Latin market, under the Goya brand. If your gringo market carries any Goya products, ask the
manager to order them for you.

PS Goya calls what you and I would call posole, "giant white corn".

Meijers and Giant carry a large selection of ethnic food. They may be in your area.

Is there that big a difference between rehydrated dried posolero and the stuff in cans?

Check the Gourmet food section of Amazon.com. I did a search on Hominy and there I found both dried
and canned and a posole dinner kit.

Have you tried Holiday Market in Royal Oak? In the past if they don't stock what I needed they
special order for you. Also, look around stores in Hazel Park, with all the kentuckians living their
am sure you will find what your looking for.

IMHO, canned is a lot easier (and available). I once got a package of dried from the Hatch chile
company, followed directions, and that stuff never *did* soften up. Rinse & drain the canned.

Canned hominy almost always contains sodium bisulfite.

Yep. Almost any sizable bulk food shop will carry hominy in different=20 forms, flaked, ground, etc.

In my neck of the woods, there are several markets run by Mennonites=20 that carry the various kinds
of hominy.

I prefer the canned posole. Tried the dried stuff and didn't like it as much plus it was a lot of
trouble. Same with kidney beans - always use canned. But the have to be the dark red ones and a good
brand. Tried the dried ones and they were crappy. Of course all other types of dried beans I use the
dried form preferably, oh, except chickpeas. Kate
