White Hominy
This Mexican cooking staple is known for it’s sponge-like quality which allows it to soak in the essence of your favorite dish – like sauces and spices. White Hominy is commonly used to plump up soups and stews or ground down to create masa or grits. The mild, nutty flavor makes it ideal substitute for beans in any dish!
Hominy is made by soaking corn kernels in a lime water solution, which causes them to plump and loosen the hull (outer shell.) When the shell is removed, hominy can be ground into a paste or flour. The flour is commonly used to make the masa for tamales.
- UNIQUE FLAVOR
Although it’s derived from corn kernels, hominy has a distinctly nutty, chewy, and sponge-like quality. Infused with a little bit of lime and salt, it makes the perfect mild-mannered addition to any dish. - VERSATILE PRODUCT
Hominy is great substitute for noodles or rice to bulk up soups and stews. Grind it up and it dry out into a powder which can be used to make tamale or tortilla dough. Stir fry with veggies and seasonings. Add to salads and casseroles for new twist! - CONSCIOUS PACKAGING

I got the red 40 blues.
I was sad to see that you add red 40 to your enchilada sauce. I have enjoyed it but will try to find an alternative as I am having health issues and trying to cut out unhealthy ingredients from my diet. Is it necessary?
Response from La Preferida
Hi Leslie, we completely understand the need for clean and safe ingredients! Luckily, we do have an Organic and Gluten-Free alternative to our Red Enchilada Sauce which you can find here. No artificial ingredients here 🙂 Hope this helps! https://shop.lapreferida.com/products/organic-red-enchilada-sauce-tetra-recart%C2%AE?_pos=2&_sid=ea3cb464f&_ss=r
The best rice on the market
I love this rice, but sad that the store near me that carried it has now closed. However, I will search for it simply because it is reliable and the best in taste. I’ve never been a fan of jasmine or basmati rice – they both have distinct aroma and taste that can fight with food at times. This rice is perfect for pretty much any use. It’s not pounded and beaten down like many bags of white rice are. The quality is consistent and the rice is extremely clean right from the bag (although I always wash rice regardless to eliminated some of the starch). I’ve been a fan for years and will continue to be, even if it takes a bit more effort to find now.

The best refried beans out there!
I have tried every brand of refried beans out there and the La Preferida authentic refried beans are by far the best ones on the market! I guess everyone in my town knows this as well, because it’s always hard to find it on the shelves. I ordered two cases, which arrived well packaged and not one dented can! And just in time, as I was down to my last can in the pantry! If this company ever stops making this, I don’t know what I’ll do!!
