Three stages of the corn harvest are named here: husking the ears, shelling the kernels from the cob, and making hominy, in which dried kernels are soaked in lye or lime to loosen the hulls. The lime-soaking method, called nixtamalization, was developed by Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica and made corn more nutritious and easier to grind. Scenes of farm labor like this were common on American canned vegetable labels in the late 1800s and early 1900s, where they suggested wholesome, homegrown food.
