Nope, traditionally made by soaking corn in water with fireplace ash - as all natural as you can get - then rinsed clean and cooked, canned, and sold at Walmart

If you can find gluten free pasta for 12 cents a box, why aren't you reselling it? Every time I find it in the store it's expensive.

Corn treated with lye to make the protein in it bio-available. It's what they make corn tortillas and corn chips from. A powerhouse traditional Mexican/Native American food. You often see it in soups as well as the afore mentioned tortillas, chips, tamales, etc..

Can't beat dried beans, hominy, and rice. Cheap, filling, pantry stable, and nutritious. And if you're scavenging/scrounging parm cheese, seasoning, and condiment packages from friends' take-outs as you say in the comments, you can make them pretty tasty.

Edit: google says a lb of pintos is $1.70USD which will make 6 servings, cooked = .28 cents per, Rice is $1.35USD for a 1lb bag totaling 7.5 servings = .18 cents per, and Great Value Hominy is $3.98USD for 110.4oz /24 servings = .63 cents per serving for a complete protein meal. You will have to refrigerate the left over hominy after opening though.
