I wonder what steel cut corn would taste like?
Far as I know there is no equivalent to steel cut oats for corn, wheat
or other grains, but I don't see why they wouldn't work something like oats work. I know the nutrition of corn is not quite that of oats or even wheat, but it is whole grain afterall, so must be pretty good for a person. Surely you could take a kernal of corn, cut it into about 10 pieces or so, soak it, then cook it into a cereal something like oatmeal is handled. Anybody ever try this? I know they feed cracked corn to chickens and other animals, so that might work too. Grits are more processed and so is farina, so they lose a lot of the nutrition of the corn and wheat. Both taste pretty good though, so I'm thinking cereal made from the whole kernals should be palatable. I read the history of Kelloggs Corn Flakes online a while back. Apparently Kellogg did not want to add any sugar to his corn flakes, but caved in due to his brother convincing him they would make a lot of money if they did add sugar. The article said the flakes without sugar tasted good. Wish I had some of those, right now to taste. dkw |

Actually, I had some fried mush when I was a kid and remember that being pretty good. I guess the ground corn is whole grain, but I don't know that for sure. The texture might be very important, cause I think if you were to cook whole wheat flour, you would get paste rather than a cereal texture. Less coursely ground corn or wheat might taste a lot different due to the texture. Think I'll make some polenta tomorrow. Thanks again. dkw |

That's not a grain any more than pineapple is a connifer, but it looks like a grain and it has a grain sounding word in its name. I've had cracked wheat years ago, and I've used cracked barley in stews. Couscous is more processed than cracked wheat, but it is popular. I suspect that types of grain that look more like wheat than like corn will work better than corn. Any sort of porrridge made before the industrial revolution would be have like that. I know the nutrition of corn is not quite that of oats or even wheat, but it is whole grain afterall, so must be pretty good for a person. Compared to refined grain, sure. Compared to cauliflower, I am far from convinced. |

One could always go to the feed store and pick up "cracked corn" which is just corn that has been broken into small pieces suitable for chickens etc. Rinse any dust off it and you could give it a try. Pieces are bigger than coarse ground polenta or corn meal. |

I think we should call it "Honey cracked corn" in your honor. We could package the stuff, add a little corn sweetner, salt and some preservatives and sell loads of it. Oh ya, I guess a drop of honey too. dkw |

I did buy a 50 lb. bag of the steel cut oats from Honeyville but I know I love oats, so it's working out fine, but think I'll opt for a smaller bag of corn grits. Industrial sized portions often seem to backfire on me. I get into some product or some food thinking hey this is really great, so I'll save gobs of money and buy 100 lbs. of the stuff, only to find out after about 1 pound that there is better stuff around or I really don't like it as much as I thought. Corn grits sounds a little like it might fall into that category. My poor dog already gets enough of my disaster dishes from my bulk purchases. At least I live in a warm climate where I could dig a hole and bury some dish that really didn't turn out. Up north I just had to keep it in the garage until the ground thawed. dkw |
