Looks like coarse grits. I saw it on their facebook page with their other corn products. It must be the one they call 'Super Grits'.

Even better pic.

Thanks Grainlady. I did find some Haitian recipes but thought there might be a use for these by soaking and adding to something like corn bread, corn casserole, etc.

They are huge! I suppose i would soak and cook just a half cup or less on its own and watch the timing. Se how they taste. Seems a good stew ingredient.

I'm going to try soaking then cooking super grits. Certainly no need for a mesh sieve (referencing another thread) with these!

REPORTING BACK: I soaked them for 24 hours, then cooked them for an hour. Still hard as popcorn corn. Perhaps they are to top the soil for a small potted plant :)

Cook them for 2 more hours.....then perhaps add some sugar and find a still? Oh and hide form the "revinooers"...
My squirrels like that sort of thing....keeps them from raiding the bird feeder.

LOL, LIndaC, I was just thinking it looked like the cracked corn in the "scratch feed" I buy for the hens. (grin) If you've soaked for 24 hours and cooked it for an hour, and it's still hard and inedible, I don't know what the heck you could do with it. Good luck!

This sounds like some of my experiments, off into the unknown.... :) I once got a bag of yellow peas that never did cook right -- I just figured they must have been *really* old and dry, or that they were held somewhere at too-high of a temperature before I bought them so that they were already 'baked' and useless.

If it fails from here, I'd probably bake the glop into treats for the squirrels. Squirrels are a nuisance, but they're pretty to watch in the snow. :)

My bad...they LOOKED hard but after picking them up this morning they were palatable but not much of a corny flavor. However I went right outside and called the squirrels for breakfast.

Cathy, I'll bet the squirrels LOVED breakfast!

I wondered if it's similar to dried hominy to make posole? I'd expect hominy to be white, not yellow.

Hominy can be white or yellow

Annie, I just checked the squirrels' breakfast...they didn't eat it! That's strange, as you know they don't pass up much.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find that hard to believe!!...leave it a bit longer....maybe it will ferment!

OK, if the squirrels won't eat it, I'm not touching it, LOL. That's odd, they usually eat everything that seems even possibly edible, including the rafters of the garage and the soffits over the back door slider!

Maybe I could grind it into cornmeal or flour.....
