To prepare the dried white corn, it is usually best to soak it overnight in water. This helps to rehydrate the kernels and reduce cooking time. After soaking, drain the corn and rinse it thoroughly. Then, it can be cooked in boiling water or broth until tender. You can also add it to slow cooker recipes or pressure cooker meals. The cooking time will vary depending on the method used and your desired tenderness. Season it with salt and pepper or other spices to your liking.
