corn nuts
Roasted maize snack
Corn nuts are a crunchy snack made from roasted or deep-fried corn kernels.
The kernels are soaked and then cooked until hard and crunchy, resulting in a texture much firmer than popcorn or corn chips.
They're often salted or flavored: I grabbed a bag of corn nuts from the vending machine.
Also spelled as one word: cornnuts.
Corn Nuts is a trademarked brand name that has become generic for the product.
