Hominy porridge 

Jamaican Restaurant in The Bronx Serving the Best Hominy Porridge
Hominy Porridge
​

This creamy mixture of hominy corn, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla isn’t just for breakfast; it’s good at any time of day. You don’t have to go all the way to Kingston to enjoy a piping hot bowl of hominy porridge, because we’re cooking it up right here in The Bronx at Frank's Soup Bowl.
​
Hominy is a nutritious food that’s sold in various forms, but most Jamaican recipes use whole hominy kernels. One cup of whole hominy contains approximately 17% of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) of fiber and five percent of the protein RDA. It’s also a great source of omega-6 fatty acids. Each cup contains:
  • Iron
  • Magnesium
  • Manganese
  • Phosphorus
  • Selenium
  • Zinc
White hominy contains other trace minerals, such as copper and calcium. Yellow hominy’s nutritional content is similar, but it contains more vitamin A than white hominy does.
The best and most flavorful kind of hominy porridge is a creamy, rich one where the kernels of corn have been boiled down to a soft, melt-in-the-mouth consistency. We’ll cook it up and spice it just right, with plenty of vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Let us serve you a hot bowl of hominy porridge and give you a real taste of the islands!
