Hommus Chips: Stoneground Corn

Stoneground corn refers to corn kernels that have been ground between two stones. This traditional milling method creates a coarser texture than modern roller milling. It is a whole grain product, meaning it includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the corn kernel.

Stoneground corn is used as a whole grain ingredient in various food products, providing texture and a corn flavor. It is often found in baked goods like crackers, bread, and muffins, as well as in snack foods. Its whole grain nature is often highlighted as a benefit.

Stoneground corn is a source of dietary fiber and various nutrients. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend making half your grains whole grains. Whole grains are associated with various health benefits, though specific health claims are not made for stoneground corn itself. It is not subject to specific FDA regulations beyond general food safety standards.
