What it is
Degermed white corn meal is made from the endosperm of white corn kernels after the germ and hull have been removed. This process results in a finer texture and longer shelf life compared to whole cornmeal. It is a common ingredient in many baked goods and breakfast foods.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use degermed white corn meal as a base or thickener in products like cornbread, muffins, and pancakes. Its mild flavor and fine texture make it versatile for various baked goods, providing structure and a slightly gritty texture.
Health notes
Degermed white corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins, often enriched to add back nutrients lost during processing. JECFA has evaluated cornmeal and related products. Typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
