About Yellow cornmeal
Yellow cornmeal, a staple ingredient in various cuisines, is made from ground dried yellow corn. Commonly associated with Southern American cooking, it is used in recipes such as cornbread, polenta, and hush puppies. Rich in carbohydrates, cornmeal provides a good source of energy and contains essential nutrients like fiber, iron, and small amounts of protein. It also delivers key antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Naturally gluten-free, it is a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities. However, its nutritional value can vary based on processing; whole-grain cornmeal retains more fiber and nutrients, while degerminated varieties may lose some of these benefits. While it is low in fat and sodium, it’s important to monitor added fats and sugars when cornmeal is used in recipes. Versatile and nutritious, yellow cornmeal can be a flavorful part of a balanced diet.
