About Huile de maïs
Huile de maïs is oil produced from the germ of corn kernels. It is usually a clear, pale yellow liquid with a mild flavour, especially when refined. It is distinct from corn kernels, corn germ, and oils made from other parts of the plant.
Refined corn oil is used for frying, baking, and general cooking, while less-refined forms may have a more noticeable flavour. Products can also be blended with other oils. The processing grade and blend status should be considered when identifying a bottle or comparing product forms.
