Product Overview

Unlike the coarse "Flocão" used for Couscous, Fubá Mimoso has a texture similar to traditional wheat flour but with the distinct golden color and sweet aroma of corn.

  • Texture: Powdery and smooth (extra-fine).
  • Taste: Mild, sweet corn flavor.
  • Consistency: When cooked with liquid, it becomes incredibly smooth and creamy, unlike the grittier "Polenta" styles.

Key Uses & Recipes

  1. Bolo de Fubá (Corn Cake): This is the #1 use. It’s the most iconic Brazilian "grandma" cake, usually served with coffee (Pilão or União) for an afternoon snack (lanche).
  2. Angu: A traditional Brazilian side dish similar to a very soft, smooth polenta. It is a classic accompaniment to Feijão (beans) and sautéed kale (couve).
  3. Creamy Porridge (Mingau): Often fed to children or eaten as a comfort food, cooked with milk, sugar (RAR), and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  4. Breading: Because it is so fine, it’s perfect for breading small fish (manjuba) or okra (quiabo) before frying in Fula Oil, giving them a thin, super-crispy coating.
