Unmalted corn that has been heat-treated to gelatinize the starch and make it possible for the enzymes in the malt to break it down. Can therefore be added directly to the mash and does not need to be pre-cooked. Rolled into flakes and does not need to be crushed before use.
In brewing, it lightens wort and can add a unique corn flake-like sweetness to beers.
Maize can also be used by distillers to create bourbon style whisky without needing to pre-cook the maize.
