Overview
Maize Flour (Corn Flour/Meal): Ground from dried maize kernels, it's used to make porridge (like polenta, ugali, and mămăligă), cornbread, tortillas (massa when treated with lime water), and as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking.
Maize Starch (Cornstarch): A white, flavorless powder extracted from the corn kernel's endosperm. It's a common thickening agent in sauces, gravies, soups, puddings, and desserts. It also improves the texture of baked goods, making cakes more tender, and provides crispiness to fried foods.
Corn Syrup: A thick, sweet syrup made from corn starch, used as a sweetener, to soften texture, add volume, and prevent sugar crystallization in candies, baked goods, jams, jellies, ice cream, and beverages. It's also a humectant, helping foods retain moisture.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): A processed form of corn syrup where some glucose is converted to fructose, making it sweeter. It's widely used in processed foods, soft drinks, fruit juices, and other sweetened products due to its lower cost compared to sucrose.
Maize Oil (Corn Oil): Extracted from the germ of the maize kernel. It's used as a cooking oil (salad and frying oil due to its high smoke point) and is a component in margarine.
Sweet Corn: A variety of maize with a higher sugar content, typically eaten as a vegetable.
Baby Corn: Small, immature ears of maize, often used in Asian cuisine.
Popcorn: A specific type of maize whose kernels explode when heated, forming a light and fluffy snack.
