Maize flour is a fine powder milled from dried maize (corn) kernels. The flour is produced by milling the whole maize kernel or, in some cases, the endosperm (the starchy part of the kernel) after it has been processed to remove the husk and germ.

Key characteristics of maize flour:

• Colour: Bright yellow, but can vary based on maize cultivar.

• Texture: It has a fine, powdery texture, making it suitable for smooth doughs and batters.

• Flavour: Maize flour has a mild, slightly sweet flavour, which makes it versatile for both savoury and sweet recipes.

Common uses:

• Baking: commonly used in the production of breads, cakes, muffins, and cookies, providing structure and a slightly sweet taste.

• Gluten-Free Recipes: since maize flour is naturally gluten-free, it’s often used in gluten-free baking, replacing wheat flour in recipes for breads, pancakes, and pasta.

• Thickening Agent: used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and gravies.

• Snack Foods: maize flour is a key ingredient in making snacks like chips, crackers, and tortillas, adding crispness and texture.

• Coatings and Batters: maize flour is alsoused in coating meat or vegetables before frying, creating a crispy exterior.

For the bait industry:

Maize flour is a popular ingredient in the bait industry, particularly for carp and coarse fishing. It is used in the creation of boilies, pastes, and groundbait due to its natural sweetness and fine texture, which attract fish. The flour is high in carbohydrates and provides energy for fish, making it a nutritious bait option. It also acts as a binding agent, helping to hold bait mixtures together.
