Maize & Corn maize Grits
Maize, commonly known as corn, is one of the most widely cultivated cereal grains and is valued for its versatility, nutritional content, and industrial importance. Maize grits are coarse particles obtained by grinding and processing cleaned and dehulled maize kernels. They are widely used in food processing for products such as breakfast cereals, snacks, brewing, extruded foods, and traditional dishes. Maize grits are preferred for their uniform particle size, high starch content, good binding properties, and neutral flavor, making them suitable for both human consumption and industrial food applications. They are naturally gluten-free and provide a good source of carbohydrates and energy.
