Okay I need more answeres cause these are all saying something different! Which is right?
Answers:
Sort of true, the lime is used in the soaking of the cormeal to remove the husks, so when grinding the corn into meal or flour it removes the outer shell.
It is a type of industrail lime, calcium carbonate, silate or bromate, this just softens it in a water solution, smoetime in Mexico they will use lye, but it is to caustic.
