Samp is a type of coarsely ground dried corn kernels, traditionally from Southern Africa. The kernels are pounded until the outer husk is removed, resulting in a hearty and chewy grain. Visually, samp resembles large, cracked corn with a pale yellow to off-white color. It has a mild, subtly sweet corn flavor and a firm texture that softens significantly when cooked. Often used in traditional dishes, samp provides a satisfying and nutritious base for stews and side dishes. Look for high-quality samp for best results in South African cuisine.

Samp should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place. Proper storage will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors. It can be kept at room temperature for up to a year if stored correctly. For longer storage, consider freezing it in a freezer-safe bag.
