Flaking grits

Hominies - or flaking grits – are corn grain fragments used for various applications: in breakfast cereals (cornflakes) or in snacks (puffed cakes).

Limagrain Ingredients offers very high-quality hominies with various grain sizes.

Corn flakes and puffed cakes made from our hominies have one thing in common: simple and clear labelling (corn grain) as well as optimal quality and consistency. Access to Limagrain Ingredients genetic resources has resulted in the development of specific EUROPLATA corn varieties. These varieties are flint corns, allowing the extraction of large hominies for crispy corn flakes. They are also perfect for producing light and tasty puffed cakes.
