Remove any debris (straws, stones, or black kernels) from the dried cacahuazintle maize kernels. Rinse and set aside. In a large bowl, combine maize kernels, water, and pickling lime. Stir until pickling lime is dissolved and set aside. You may notice tiny air bubbles rising to the surface. Transfer to a large pot and cook for two hours or until maize kernels are soft and silky. Let cool. Rinse and hull maize kernels.
