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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grits

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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masa

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menudo_(soup)

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.
