I wasn't even sure what it was.
Kept seeing cans of it at Winco in the hispanic food section.
Had some green posole yesterday at work (Taco Thursday). So I did some research. Turns out this is just specially prepared corn kernels - which I am sure most of you know. Has more calories and carbs than lentils. Calories are good in a SHTF scenario - especially inexpensive calories. Also, it can be made into various other things because hominy flour will make things like tortillas and camp bread and taco shells and things - where ground corn that hasn't been nixtamalized can't.
So today I bought five cans of it - golden hominy. My first knee jerk reaction was to order a sack of dried hominy, but I figured if it was in a can, then it might keep longer and would certainly be proof against mice/etc. getting into it - although I need to keep it from getting frozen (i.e., I can't keep it stored in my unheated shop - at least until I move and build a shop that is heated).
