This corn isn't sweet corn, it's flour corn, so you have to let it get dry so that you can grind it. Normally we make hominy with it, which usually also requires that the corn be dry.

Hominy? What’s that?
It's hard corn that has been soaked in lime to loosen the outer shell of the kernel, the shells are removed, usually by rubbing the corn and then washing the corn. It also makes the niacin in the corn more digestable. Masa flour is made by grinding the hominy after it's been dried. It's also boiled and eaten in soups and other dishes.
Wow! Good to know 😊
