Cancha can be described as a sort of popcorn, but it's made from a special variety of corn called maiz chulpe. The pointy dried kernels pop when heated, and will even jump right out of the skillet, but the inside of the kernels do not burst out and puff up like regular popcorn. Instead, cancha corn gets slightly puffy and toasted, like corn nuts, and it has a starchy taste that is quite addictive.
Inca's Dried Corn Cancha is a delicious pre-meal snack. Simply toast these corn kernels with salt and vegetable oil for a savory dish that's ready in about 20 minutes. Toss it in with your ceviche and you've got yourself a winner. Or enjoy it in a salad for a nutritious lunch.
Cancha tostada, cancha serrana, maiz chulpe, or chulpi is also known as mote in Peru, Tostado in Ecuador and maiz capia Ecuador in Colombia.
