Cornnuts
Cornnuts are corn kernels roasted or fried until hard and crunchy, eaten as a snack and sold plain or with varied seasonings.
About Cornnuts
Cornnuts are a crunchy snack made from kernels of corn that have been processed and roasted or fried until crisp. The kernels are typically larger and firmer than ordinary popped popcorn, with a hard, brittle bite and a toasted corn flavour.
They are eaten as a packaged snack and may be sold plain or with seasonings. Products vary in kernel type, cooking method, added oil, salt, and flavourings, so the term does not specify one recipe. They are distinct from popcorn, whose kernels puff into a light, expanded form.
