Our White Corn braids are ready to be shelled so we can begin processing the corn. We need your help to do this important work. 

Shelling corn is an important step in the White Corn process. Once corn braids are dried, the corn kernels are shelled from the cobb. The kernels are then washed, dehydrated, (ground) or roasted, becoming one of our delicious White Corn products - Hulled, White Corn Flour, Roasted Corn Flour.
