Bush's Best Hominy Variety Pack — White & Golden Hominy Cans, 15.5 oz | Ready-to-Use for Pozole & Soups

Bush's Best Hominy Variety Pack delivers ready-to-use white and golden hominy kernels that add hearty texture and mild corn flavor to pozole, soups, casseroles and side dishes.

This two-can variety includes Bush's Best White Hominy and Golden Hominy, both pre-cooked and canned for convenience. Each can gives you plump kernels that hold shape during simmering and absorb seasonings well, making them a practical pantry staple for Southern and Latin-inspired recipes. Low in fat and offering a satisfying, starchy bite, hominy is a versatile swap for potatoes or rice when you want a different texture or a true corn-forward taste.

How do I use these hominy cans in pozole and stews?

For pozole, drain and rinse the hominy, then add it in the final 20–30 minutes of simmering so the kernels heat through without breaking down. In other stews, hominy can replace or accompany beans and root vegetables to add bulk and corn flavor.

• Drain and rinse to reduce canning liquid flavor and sodium.
• Add during the last simmer to retain kernel shape.
• Combine with shredded meat, chiles, and broth for traditional pozole.
• Use in chowders or casseroles as a potato/rice alternative.

What makes white and golden hominy different and when should I pick each?

White hominy has a classic, neutral corn taste and bright appearance that suits traditional pozole or creamy casseroles. Golden hominy has a slightly deeper color and can bring a warmer visual contrast in mixed dishes; either works interchangeably based on color and presentation preferences.

• White hominy: mild, bright, ideal for classic Latin recipes.
• Golden hominy: warmer color, visual pop in mixed bowls.
• Both retain texture under heat and soak up seasonings well.
• Choose by dish color and aesthetic or mix both for variety.

How should I store and prepare canned hominy for best results?

Store unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry; refrigerate any unused portion in a sealed container and use within 3–4 days. Rinse before using to remove excess canning liquid and adjust salt in the recipe to taste.

• Pantry storage: cool, dry place until opened.
• Refrigerate leftovers in airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Rinse to lower sodium and remove canning residue.
• Heat gently to preserve kernel texture—avoid long vigorous boiling.

Can hominy be used in non-traditional dishes and what are some quick ideas?

Yes—hominy works well beyond stews. Toss it into salads, blend it into creamy soups, use it as a filling for tacos, or combine with cheese and peppers in baked casseroles for a quick weeknight meal.

• Stir into corn or vegetable chowders for added body.
• Mix with roasted vegetables and a vinaigrette for warm salads.
• Fold into baked casseroles with cheese and peppers.
• Use as a hearty taco or enchilada filling with spices and protein.
