About Cornmeal
Cornmeal is a versatile pantry staple made from ground dried corn, commonly used in global cuisines, particularly in Latin American, Southern U.S., and African dishes. It comes in varying textures, from fine to coarse, ideal for recipes like cornbread, polenta, or tortillas. Rich in carbohydrates, cornmeal provides energy and is naturally gluten-free, making it a great alternative for those with gluten sensitivities. It contains essential nutrients, including fiber, B vitamins, and magnesium, supporting digestion and overall health. However, refined varieties, such as degerminated cornmeal, lack the nutrients found in whole-grain versions. Opting for whole-grain cornmeal ensures you benefit from its healthy fats and antioxidants. While cornmeal is relatively low in protein compared to other grains, it serves as a nutritious base when paired with complementary ingredients. As part of a balanced diet, cornmeal offers both flavor and nourishment.
