| Botanical Name : | Corn Grit / Maize Grit |
About
Maize Grit, or corn grits, are dried corn kernels which have been ground into a fine, medium, or coarse texture.
The finely ground grits may be used as corn flour to produce gluten-free foods, pastries, cookies, and cakes.
It may also be used as a food filler, a binder, and a thickener.
We are engaged in bringing to the clients a superior quality Corn Flour, which is highly appreciated by the clients across the globe.
The Corn Flour offered by us, is obtained from Maize that is organically grown and is thereby free from all chemicals.
The Corn Flour is put through severe processing methods to ensure supply of high quality Corn Flour that is devoid of any contamination.
This variety of Corn Flour is offered in well sealed packaging to our valued customers.
There are four basic varieties of grits: traditional stone-ground, quick-cooking, instant, and hominy.
While the base ingredient (corn) is the same in all of these, the way it’s processed is different (more on that below). Grits are usually served one of two ways: creamy or cheesy.
