http://www.durgan.org/URL/?VOXJS 12 October 2014 Nixtamalized soy beans and corn Nixtamalized corn is a method of releasing field corn nutrients to make a wholesome food which is a South American staple. It was decided to make a mixture of soy beans and corn to enhance the combination for a breakfast gruel. The soy beans were boiled for about 20 minutes then soaked in calcium hydroxide for 12 hours, rinsed until clear then pressure cooked for one hour.The corn was cooked for 20 minutes then soaked in a calcium hydroxide water solution for 12 hours then pressured cooked for 20 minutes.This process is called nixtamalization. With the corn it releases nutrients and removes the outer hard coating of the kernels.It removes the outer hull of the soy beans and what else is not known. The slurry, gruel is assumed to be highly nutritious, and is being considered as an experiment with me as the guinea pig, since I will ingest for about a month as a supplement to my normal breakfast. Typically the soy beans are not treated with calcium hydroxide. Posted Image |

I ground the mixture of corn and soy beans, both nixtamalized, and made 14 tortillas. simple and easy. Finally I have a method of grinding wet material using the hand blender. There is not a grinder on the internet that can grind wet material. All I could do was dry the material,dehydrate, after nixtamalization, which is a major extra step. Maybe the technique should be patented? |
