Snacks are made from maize grits to develop ready-to-eat products having either a spicysalty or sweet taste. The products are suitable as a low-fat snack because the step of frying in oil/fat has been eliminated to provide a good shelf life without sacrificing the attractive texture and taste of a crispy snack. The sweet product can be used as a breakfast cereal whereas the salt-spicy one can be consumed as anytime snack. In addition, the products are cost-effective and can also be considered as a health food. The product can be shelf stored for more than 4 months at ambient conditions. The sweet product can be consumed along with milk as breakfast food
