Cracked corn, also known as maíz quebrado, is dried corn that has been broken into small pieces. This traditional ingredient is used in many Latin American kitchens to prepare hearty soups, warm drinks, and rustic grain dishes. Because the corn is broken rather than whole, it cooks faster and releases natural starch, creating a rich texture that works beautifully in both savoury and sweet recipes. This versatile grain can be used in a variety of dishes and is a great pantry staple for anyone interested in traditional Latin cooking or rustic grain-based meals.
