Ground Corn

Ground corn is made from dried kernels of corn that have been milled into smaller pieces. It is a whole grain product that can range in texture from fine to coarse. Corn is a widely cultivated grain crop grown in many parts of the world.

Ground corn is used as a base ingredient in many foods, providing texture and bulk. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, snacks like tortilla chips and pretzels, and as a binder in processed meats. Its mild flavor makes it versatile in various recipes.

Ground corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for food. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and its derivatives. Evidence does not link typical consumption of whole ground corn to adverse health effects.
