Dried Corn for Toasting (Cancha)

Dried Corn for Toasting is a starchy highland corn sold raw and dried, ready for you to toast at home into crispy cancha, the classic Peruvian toasted-corn snack. Its tender, floury kernels turn golden and crunchy in just a few minutes in a hot, lightly oiled pan. Enjoy it on its own as a natural snack, or use it to add texture and flavor to soups, salads, and fresh dishes such as ceviche and tiradito. Simple, versatile, and authentic.
