About Corn meal
Corn meal is a versatile staple made from dried, ground corn kernels. This gluten-free ingredient has roots in Native American cuisine and remains widely used in dishes across the Americas, Africa, and Europe. Available in fine, medium, or coarse textures, corn meal is essential for creating cornbread, tortillas, polenta, grits, and more. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. While it is naturally low in fat, its refined versions may lack the nutrient density of whole-grain varieties like stone-ground corn meal. It is considered a healthy option when consumed in moderation, offering sustained energy. However, recipes made with corn meal, such as baked goods or fried foods, might include added sugar or fats, which could impact overall health. To maximize benefits, pair corn meal with nutrient-rich accompaniments and focus on whole-grain options.
