Corn nuts in a bowl

Corn nuts,[1] also known as toasted corn,[2] are a snack food made of roasted or deep-fried corn kernels. It is referred to as cancha in Peru, chulpi in Ecuador, kikones in Spain, and cornick in the Philippines.

Preparation

Corn nuts are prepared by soaking whole corn kernels in water for three days, then deep-frying them in oil until they are hard and brittle. The kernels are soaked because they shrink during the harvesting and cleaning process, and rehydration returns them to their original size.

History

Originated in Peru and are called cancha, where they have been prepared for over 1,000 years and still are to this day. You can find them in Ecuador and Brazil as well.

Varieties and brands

CornNuts

Holloway later renamed his product CornNuts. After Holloway and his sons Maurice and Rich learned of a breed of corn grown in Cusco, Peru (often referred to as Cuzco corn[3]) that grew large kernels (some said to have been bigger than a quarter), the company researched developing a hybrid of the Cusco corn that could be grown effectively in California. After a decade of research, the company introduced CornNuts made with the hybrid variety in 1964.[4] CornNuts sold on the market today are no longer of the large Cusco corn size.

The most popular brand, CornNuts was owned by Holloway's original family company until the company was purchased by Nabisco[5] in 1998.[6] Cornnuts was a registered trademark of Kraft Foods.[7] On February 11, 2021, Kraft sold the Planters and Corn Nuts brands to Hormel Foods.[8] Corn Nuts are available in seven flavors: Original, Ranch, BBQ (barbecue-flavored), Chile Picante con Limon, Mexican Style Street Corn, Jalapeño Cheddar and Loaded Taco.[9]

Cornick

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". A Filipino variant of corn nuts is cornick (Template:Langx). Compared to the American variety, cornick pieces are typically smaller and crispier. They are also traditionally made from glutinous corn. Garlic is the most common flavor of cornick, with other common flavors including: chili cheese, adobo, barbecue, lechón manok (also known as roasted chicken), and sweet. Major brands include Boy Bawang (literally "Garlic Boy" in Tagalog, commonly sold in small packets), Corn Bits, and Safari.

A popular variety of cornick is the lighter, chicharrón-like chichacorn,[10] a semi-popped style of cornick using glutinous corn from the Ilocos Region[11] which is treated with lime before frying.[12]
