Del Campo Peeled Giant Corn

Transform your kitchen into a Latin American culinary haven with Del Campo Peeled Giant Corn, a versatile dry ingredient that brings authentic flavor and hearty texture to countless traditional dishes. This specially prepared corn features large, plump kernels that have been carefully peeled to remove the tough outer skin, revealing the tender, starchy interior that makes it perfect for slow-cooking applications and traditional recipes. Known as "mote pelado" or "maíz pelado" in many Latin American countries, this peeled giant corn is a cornerstone ingredient in Peruvian, Colombian, and Ecuadorian cuisine. The kernels have a mild, slightly sweet corn flavor with a satisfying chewy texture when cooked. Popular throughout the Andean regions, this corn variety is essential for preparing classic dishes like Colombian sancocho, Peruvian causa, and hearty grain-based soups and stews. The large size and robust texture of these kernels make them ideal for dishes that require longer cooking times, as they hold their shape beautifully while absorbing the flavors of broths and seasonings. To prepare Del Campo Peeled Giant Corn, soak the kernels overnight in water, then simmer for 45 minutes to an hour until tender. Add them to meat stews, vegetable soups, or serve as a nutritious side dish seasoned with salt and herbs. These corn kernels also make an excellent addition to grain salads, can be ground for specialty flours, or used in traditional beverages. Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
