What it is

Degermed yellow cornmeal is made from the ground endosperm of yellow corn kernels. The germ, which contains oil and nutrients, is removed during processing. This process extends the shelf life of the cornmeal and results in a lighter texture.

Why it's used

Cornmeal is used as a thickener and texturizer in a variety of foods. It provides a slightly gritty texture and a mild corn flavor, commonly found in baked goods like cornbread and muffins, as well as in some snack foods and batters.

Health notes

Degermed yellow cornmeal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. Major international bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products, but specific evaluations for degermed yellow cornmeal's health effects at typical intake levels are not widely published. It is not associated with significant health controversies.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
