Corn kernels Chulpi / Chulpe from America 500g

Chulpe corn, or Chulpi corn, is a fascinating hybrid of vegetable corn and sweet corn. Compared to the giant Choclo, these kernels are rather small and tapered. Its trademark is the slightly sweet taste and the unique texture that develops when heated. This product does not require refrigeration and can be stored in a dry place.

A wonderful roasting experience (Cancha)

Unlike popcorn, chulpi corn doesn't pop all the way open. It's the perfect choice for a traditional South American treat:

• Preparation: The dried grains are toasted in a pan with a little oil. As they toast, they expand in volume and pop open just slightly. See “Recipe” below for more details.

• Result: Delicious crunchy on the outside, while the core is flaky and tender. A true culinary revelation!

Traditional Uses & Enjoyment

In South America, roasted chulpi corn (cancha) is everywhere:

• As a snack: Traditionally salted and served with a cold beer.

• As a sidedish: A must-have for its crispy contrast to Ceviche (raw fish in lime juice) or hearty stews.

• 100 % natural: A pure corn treat with no artificial additives.
