What it is

Degerminated white corn meal is made from the ground endosperm of white corn kernels. The germ, which contains oil and nutrients, is removed during processing. This results in a meal that is lighter in color and has a longer shelf life.

Why it's used

It is commonly used as a base ingredient in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and pancakes due to its mild flavor and texture. Manufacturers use it in mixes for cakes, cookies, and pizza crusts, providing structure and a slightly gritty texture.

Health notes

Degerminated white corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins, though enrichment may be added. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn derivatives. Evidence does not link typical consumption to adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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