  1. I'm looking for cracked corn that I will use for cooking. I
    can already find stuff that can be described as coarse corn
    meal, or polenta.

    I need dried corn that is more coarse than the above.

    Any suggestions? I live near San Jose, California, USA. I
    don't mind having dry food delivered by mail.

    Try your local feed store for real cracked corn, or take a
    look at the rolled corn... It is pressed like oatmeal.

    David,

    You might try looking at John Cope's Dried Sweet Corn which
    can be found at this site:
    caneandreed.comcopescorn.htm

    You might need to chuck it in the blender to make the
    pieces a bit smaller, but it is pure dried corn and cooks
    up nicely.

    cracked corn with the germ and hull removed will get you
    hominy. you can grind it and get grits. mmmm the wonderful
    possibilites of corn.

    When we had chickens we could buy fine cracked corn (for
    chicks), medium (for pullets) and coarse )for mature
    chickens). The feed store can tell you if it's OK for
    human consumption. Also, we can buy it at a store called
    Frank's, which is a gardening and seed chain in this area,
    for bird feeders.

    I'd make positively sure that the feed store has food-grade
    corn (fit for human consumption, not just animal
    consumption).

    Try the closest feed mill. Cracked corn is a basic
    ingredient in a lot of poultry feed and bird seed, but you
    may have to buy a 50 lb. sack of it.

    'zit even possible to get whole dried corn (other than
    popcorn)? That would be easy for Jimmy to crack. Just have
    Jimmy pulse it in the blender.

    But hominy is corn treated with lye, the pulp soaked
    and expanded. Dried or not, it does not equate to
    "cracked corn".

    What do you plan to do with it?

    I mix it with other grains and make hot cereal. I'm working
    with cracked grains, like bulghur wheat and steel cut oats.
    I won't use rolled grains or finely ground meal. Polenta,
    though readily available, is too fine for me.

    The John Cope's Dried Corn I posted before should be perfect
    for this use.

    I'd make positively sure that the feed store has food-
    grade corn (fit for human consumption, not just animal
    consumption).

    I'd just check it to make sure it is clean....

    I won't feed my birds dirty feed either! 'specially
    not the emus.

    Most bulk food markets sell flaked hominy and cracked hominy
    by the pound. Very good for this sort of thing.
