About Maize crisps

Maize Crisps are a crunchy snack crafted from ground maize, showcasing the vibrant flavors of Latin American cuisine where corn holds deep cultural significance. These crisps are typically prepared by blending maize flour with a touch of salt and water, then fried or baked to achieve their signature golden texture. Packed with energy, they are a good source of carbohydrates, making them ideal for a quick boost. While naturally gluten-free, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation methods. Baked versions are lower in fat, offering a healthier alternative to traditional fried options. Some varieties may include added spices or flavorings for an enhanced taste experience. However, the sodium content can be high in seasoned or processed versions, so moderation is key. Perfect for dipping or solo snacking, Maize Crisps deliver a satisfying crunch rooted in a centuries-old grain tradition.
