Cool trail food Critr. Simple too. I've have to give it a try. Nice new addition to your pack.Who's the papa of the up a coming puppies. Yellow labs are beautiful dogs.
Nice video. Authentic parched corn contains no oil (it was parched to a golden color allowing the sugars to caramelize on hot stones). Any dry, hot (non-stick is fine) skillet or pan will work just fine. Keep it moving just as you stated. Make yourself an authentic buckskin corn quiver and you'll have the whole package. For maximum nutritional value, parched corn should be eaten with a cup or two of water which will begin to rehydrate it in your stomach as it digests.
Thanks! This was awesome! I have a small bag in my freezer and dehydrated it overnight. My kids ate most of it just dehydrated and loved it. Just finished parching about 1/2 cup and it is great. Going get a lot more corn and can't wait to try the peas! Thanks!
Corn nuts is parched corn. Only its parched hominy. The corn is processed with lye or other alkali and swelled until the husk comes off the kernel and soaked and rinsed to freshen the corn then dried and parched. He is using sweet corn and though parched hominy is very nutritious, parching sweet corn is a whole lot simpler and doable for the average person. I think this is a very Good video. Great job!
Thank you for sharing something I never heard of that seems simple to make and sounds tasty. I enjoyed your video and hope to hear from you again soon. I especially liked what you said about making gear on site.
i wouldn't advise using grease or oils as they may go rancid over time, its simpler to use a low fire and take your time, keep it moving and store in a cool dry place.
Some oils will go rancid, however, virgin coconut oil is an option that will not go rancid within many months. Also, coconut oil is known for it's amazing healing and nutritional values. Being a medium chain fat, it also help you lose excess body fat.
You can buy dehydrated sweet corn here in the south. It's called Chicos. Apparently, it's dried on the cob (sometimes smoked) and then rubbed off. I'd assume this is better since frozen corn is cut off the cob and you don't get the whole seed/grain (whatever corn is).
Hey. There wasn't any f*ckin' music at the beginning. We have expectations, da** it.
It looks to me like you're moving more to the pioneering techniques which is great stuff.
I've been doing the tallow and dehydrating just ahead of what you've been posting and it's a chore of it's own to learn when it comes to storing and using.
Didn't the tribes also rehydrate the corn and also make hominy grits from it?
You can do this with not only peas and corn, but string beans as well and a variety of other veggies. I like to do them togther, salt and pepper liberaly. NEED that salt if you are sweating alot, and a bag of this stuff with an equal bag of jerky can sustain a man for quite some time. Add a pound of rice to your kit and throw in these items once the rice is done, and you got your self a good meal.
Boil the corn 1:1 with hard wood ash and water for 1-3 hours till the skin falls off, rinse thoroughly, and you've got hominy or pasole depending on where you live . One can do this with hard/ feed corn and live off it indefinitely as the lye from the ash releases b vitamins along with other essential nutrients.
Thanks, I was just wondering. How do you keep your dogs fed & healthy in the bush??? they are extra mouths to feed and they are family in my case at least! Stay sharp and live long!
Watch the short documentary "King Corn" and then you might have second thoughts about eating this deadly grain. Nice video though. Keep 'em coming....
so do those turn out basically like corn nutts then ??? only a helva a lot cheaper to do yourself ? it looks really good how about flour sack clothes for carrying around stuff like that ?
One thing i never see on these self reliance videos is dogs. Is havin or taking a dog with you good/bad. How can they be of help.what would it take to keep them healthy and fed? I always like to think that me and my ol boy Rocky will be together in the apocalypse. I Am Legend. A boy and His Dog.
Split peas reconstitute quickly, boil for about a minute, and simmer for about 20-30, remove half and mash somewhat to give the soup body, and add a little fried or blackened sausage chucks that will make the meal much taster than split peas and ham soup. Frying up and adding a little tasty or spicy meat makes otherwise plain and boring staples foods such as rice and beans, or rice or just beans, or lentils delicious. Corn + beans, or rice + beans makes a complete muscle building protein.
Great vid, my fathers people, the Mohawk did use parched corn, sometimes coated in bear grease, for trail food. Along with Permission, sometimes Evan together.
Permission is jerky, bear fat and dried berries. Sometimes they would substitute the berries for corn. Yes they traditionally used a large flat rock like you used your skillet.
I think I will try this to use as a hunting snack. Do you have to do anything to the corn before putting it in the oven? Or grease the cookie sheet? Thank you.
Hey, Critter. Nice vid. Thanks. Do you have any idea how the Native Ams made this stuff prior to the introduction of metal utensils? On rocks I presume? It might be interesting to experiment with that a bit.
do the same basic process with soybeans and then grind them up you will have a coffee ground substitute that works alone or as a filler to make your main supply go further.
Parched corn is 11.5% protein, 8.4% fat, and 72.3% carbohydrate with a food value of 1,915 calories per pound. This is approximately 60% higher than wheat. This compares to wheat bread which has 9.2% protein, 1.3% fat, 53.1% carbohydrates and a value of only 1,205 calories per pound.
@jeremiahsineiii Parched corn owes its “staying power” to its relatively high nutritive value. When only 4 ounces are combined with a pint of water instead of cooked, it swells in the stomach to give your hunger a very satisfied feeling for a long period of time. From the "Stealth Survivor" blog website.
@Christos1680 Its the "authentic" corn nut...but after the first 2 minutes of this video, I figure for all the effort I would rather just spend $5 for a 1 lb bag of corn nuts =)
@DustyWiyrick Mightn't you just as well say that for anything you didn't catch yourself? Note that I didn't even say "fgather" because of the ways plants reproduce....
@DustyWiyrick I hope you realize that Genetically engineered food helps feed tens of millions of starving people everyday and at least 80 percent of them are children. Science denial and scientific ignorance are dangerous to our species going into the future. So please do some research before you say something or please show me your sources that it has negative effects from a credible peer reviewed study.
Could you do this with split peas? Thanks for the video.
