Aw, Nuts! Corn Nuts

Take a handful or two of dried whole corn and place in a glass jar with plenty of water. Optionally, add a tablespoon of salt. Soak in the refrigerator for three to five days. Heat an inch of oil in a pan and heat on high. Drain the water, pat dry with a paper towel, and drop in hot oil. Fry until slightly darker than golden brown - maybe five minutes - stirring occasionally. Drain from the oil on paper towels. Season with flake salt, seasoned salt, chili pepper, and/or garlic salt or just about any other flavoring.
You can do the same thing with dried soybeans to make soy nuts.
