HOMINY FEED OR CHOP. 
The hominy which is manufactured for human consumption 
consists of the hard part of the maize kernel. The hull and 
germ together with more or less of the starchy portions of the 
kernel make up the waste of hominy manufacture, and are known 
as hominy feed or chop. 
This material differs somewhat from corn meal in composition, 
the starch being less, the fiber and fat somewhat more, and the 
protein about the same, yet nutritively speaking, corn meal and 
hominy feed are not greatly unlike. 
Moreover, hominy feed appears to be quite uniform in compo- 
sition, as is shown by the analyses which are given in this con- 
nection.
