Hi,

Anson Mills grits has had success by allowing their corn to freeze before it is processed. This extra step they felt really enhanced the flavor. I found a New York Times article discussing corn milling.

If they have any corn that hasn't been roasted and ground yet. They may want to put some aside to freeze and grind for comparison.

HI,

For years I have stated Funk's Grove is the only commercial maple syrup producer in Illinois. I learned earlier today that Spence Farm is now mapling, too.

Regards,
