Where to get clean Dent/Field corn for human consumption.

[deerwhacker444]

Anybody ever pick up a sack to store or make into tortillas?

I've looked at Atwoods Whole corn and even though it's under 20 PPM Aflatoxin and should be fit for consumption, it's pretty dirty and low quality corn.

Looking for something a little higher in quality than that..

Thoughts.?

We used to go to the co-op and get it by the 55gal drum.

Getting it from the elevator, you really have to watch the aflatoxin content. Its toxic to humans and animals in high content.

Yep. The elevator I go to does three probes front to back, but I've seen them get busy and do one.
Best for the OP to get some certified aflatoxin free. It can have and effect on the birth rate of deer, etc.

If you are planning on making tortillas, be sure to get some lye also.

You first have to soak the corn in a lye solution, and then make Masa. Soaking in the lye solution changes the corn so you can get all the nutrients from it.

Once you have Masa, you make the tortillas from the Masa.

They call that Nixtamalization. I got that part figured, I just can't find any corn with Mycotoxin ratings for human consumption sold in small batches locally.
