Pellagra is not a fun thing to have. The lime releases the B3. You can still grind the corn after soaking. You can grind it wet for immediate use or dry it and grind for future use.

None of the mestizos I spent time living near in NM used lime for grinding straight corn meal. They did for making masa.

I had a 90 year old teaching me to cook the way they do up in the mountains in a community that is over 300 years old. That's older than the US, and their traditions are still strong.

I learned the secrets of the 3 sisters (corn, beans, squash) up there.

Okay, thanks for the information.
