How To Use

Maize, also known as corn, is used in Australia but it is not as commonly consumed as a food in Australia. We do use it to make popcorn or in animal feeds.
Maize is also used to make polenta. Polenta is a traditional Italian dish made by boiling coarsely ground maize or cornmeal in water or stock until it thickens into a porridge-like consistency. It can be served hot as a side dish or used as a base for other dishes, such as stews or grilled meats.

Maize is also used in some food products in Australia, such as corn chips, tortillas, and some breakfast cereals. It may also be used in some packaged foods as a thickener or sweetener.
