Bigas Mais Corn Grits

Bigas Mais Corn Grits are a type of cornmeal used in various culinary applications, especially in Filipino cuisine. "Bigas" is Tagalog for "rice," but in this case, it refers to the size of the corn kernel, not to rice. These grits are coarsely ground corn kernels that are cooked into a thick porridge or gruel.

This cornmeal is renowned for its use in preparing various traditional Filipino dishes, such as champorado (a sweet chocolate rice porridge), polenta-like dishes, and corn grits for breakfast. It possesses a coarse texture and is often cooked to a thick consistency resembling a porridge or mush.

It is typically prepared by boiling the cornmeal with water or milk until it thickens and achieves the desired consistency. Sometimes, sugar, milk, cocoa, or other flavorings are added based on the recipe and the cook's preference.

Bigas Mais Corn Grits have a distinctive taste and can serve as a good source of dietary fiber. They are versatile and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, depending on the cooking method and added ingredients. In Filipino cuisine, they constitute an essential component of various traditional recipes.
