Giant White Corn
Giant White Corn has a slight yellowish white color and when
cooked a soft, firm texture. This Corn is 1-1/2 cm in width and
length. Giant White Corn is a unique breed which adds uniqueness to
any dish with it's size. Corn was initially introduced to Europeans
by Christopher Columbus on his return from the New World. It was
originally known as maize. This multi colored corn,
was mainly used as decoration, but is now gaining popularity as a
useful grain for cooking. Corn comes in various colors, blues,
reds, purples, and a giant white kernel. These Corns add eye
appeal and a unique corn flavor to many stews, soups and casseroles.
Posole is known as a thick stew or hearty soup usually eaten as a
main course. Ground posole is used for many products such as corn
meal, corn starch, masa harina and corn flour.
Suggested Use:
Posole conjures up images of thick Mexican stews, often flavored
with pork. Posole can also be used in tomato soups and it is
wonderful tossed with rice and spices. Posole can be baked, broiled
and fried also. A version on mashed potatoes, using posole instead
of potatoes is also great tasting.
