Wholesale Bulk Maize

Also known as maize (Zea mays), maize is one of the world’s most popular cereal grains. It’s the seed of a plant in the grass family, native to Central America but grown in countless varieties worldwide.

Popcorn and sweet corn are popular varieties, but refined maize products are also widely consumed, frequently as ingredients in processed food. These include tortillas, tortilla chips, polenta, cornmeal, corn flour, corn syrup, and corn oil. Whole-grain maize is as healthy as any cereal grain, as it’s rich in fiber and many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Maize is typically yellow but comes in a variety of other colors, such as red, orange, purple, blue, white, and black.
