Soul foods are the different variations of cuisines which come from traditional dishes of some particular states such as in the Southern parts of United States. These foods have been using a variety of different ingredients and some of these came from different places. One main staple of Southern peoples diet is corn or maize. The maize is either grounded to meal or limed and mixed with alkaline salt to be able to create hominy or the process of nixtamalization.
