It’s pushing the definition of ‘inedible’ to say it’s inedible. By that definition, so is wheat.

A large part of the diet in Mexico, for example, is made up of this kind of corn, after it’s been nixtamalized, which that video sensationalizes as ‘treating it with a corrosive chemical’. This is why, when we started making ethanol from corn for fuel uses, Mexicans saw their food costs rising dramatically - because we can, and do, eat it.

”..’treating it with a corrosive chemical’..” = wood ash = sodium hydroxide = hominy.
