"A true All-American snack, Corn Nuts have a fascinating history that started as a post-Prohibition Era bar nibble. As a native Mexican crop, corn made its way into American diets before the United States even became a nation. Corn Nuts are modeled off the first version of corn, known as parched corn, which was essentially dried-out, hardened kernels. Today's Corn Nuts are made out of starchy, waxy corn kernels fried into the crunchy, ultra corn-y, and salty snacks we know and love."
"While corn tortilla chips and Fritos are among the most popular snacks in the country, we still ranked Corn Nuts as the best corn-based snack of all. No snack compares to Corn Nuts' crunchiness, and no other corn snack has captured the essence of corn better. It is easy to finish an entire bag, and with how much they work your jaw and teeth, they are bound to keep you awake and alert on long road trips."
Guy Fieri favors Corn Nuts as his favorite crunchy travel snack. Corn Nuts trace their roots to parched corn, a hardened, dried kernel form originating from native Mexican corn and used as a post-Prohibition bar nibble. Modern Corn Nuts are made from starchy, waxy corn kernels that are fried to produce an ultra-corny, salty, extremely crunchy snack. The brand offers many flavors, including ranch, white cheddar, and Mexican street corn. Corn Nuts function as a garnish for salads and soups, a topping for cheesy corn dips, and can be crushed into seasoning dust or breading.
