Kānga pirau is Māori fermented corn. Whole maize cobs in woven baskets are left in a running stream for up to six weeks, until the kernels have settled to the bottom of the basket; the corn is then mashed and often eaten with cream and sugar. The ferment has a pungent aroma.

At a glance
Kānga pirau is Māori fermented corn. Whole maize cobs in woven baskets are left in a running stream for up to six weeks, until the kernels have settled to the bottom of the basket; the corn is then mashed and often eaten with cream and sugar. The ferment has a pungent aroma. Made in 4 steps over 42 days. The longest step, leave in running water to ferment, takes up to 42 days (Wikipedia 2013). Not identified; a HACCP study of Māori elders' descriptions judged kānga kōpiro an acid fermentation does most of the fermenting.
Kānga pirau ferments whole cobs in running water for weeks, much longer than African steeped maize foods such as ogi, which are soaked for a few days and wet-milled.
Kānga pungarehu (boundary)Not fermented: maize boiled with wood ash (today often baking soda), an alkali treatment.
Safety
A HACCP-based study of traditional Māori food preparation judged kānga kōpiro likely to produce a safe food because it undergoes an acid fermentation. Modern versions ferment the cobs in containers of water.
