DeepL needs a little more education.

For a sense of scale, a piece of hominy is roughly the same size as a 
chickpea or garbanzo. I get it canned and add it to pea soup. That is a 
Quebec thing.

I don't remember seeing dried whole hominy so I use the canned type. 

Next comes grits, which are coarsely ground dried hominy.

That's mostly a southern US thing. It's hard to get breakfast without a 
bowl of grits. They aren't bad but are bland unless they're dotored up.

And finally there is masa, the flour made from hominy.

That's mostly Mexican. In northern Mexico who hominy is used in menudo.

They might not have had any garbanzos as in the Spanish version and tried 
to come close. I like menudo but it's hard to find tripe outside of the 
southwest US.
