About Corn flour

Corn flour is a fine powder made from dried corn kernels, commonly used in various cuisines worldwide, including Mexican, American, and Indian. It serves as a versatile ingredient for baking, thickening sauces, and making tortillas or cornbreads. Corn flour contains carbohydrates, fiber, and small amounts of protein, along with essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. It is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. While corn flour can be nutritious in recipes, it is important to consume it in moderation, as its high carbohydrate content may impact blood sugar levels if consumed excessively. Opting for whole-grain or minimally processed versions ensures a higher fiber and nutrient content. A staple in traditional cooking, corn flour adds texture and flavor while accommodating a range of dietary needs and preferences.
