What it is

Bolted white corn meal is a type of corn flour made from dried corn kernels. The term 'bolted' refers to a milling process where the meal is sifted through fine cloth (bolting cloth) to remove larger particles, resulting in a finer texture than regular corn meal. It is a staple grain product in many cuisines, particularly in the Southern United States.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use bolted white corn meal as a primary ingredient in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and pancakes, providing structure and a characteristic corn flavor. Its fine texture makes it suitable for mixes where a smooth consistency is desired. It can also be used as a coating for fried foods.

Health notes

Bolted white corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
