Organic Blue Cornmeal

Organic blue cornmeal is made from dried blue corn kernels that have been ground into a coarse meal. Blue corn is a variety of flint corn grown in the Southwestern United States. The grinding process is typically done without removing the bran or germ, retaining more of the whole kernel's nutrients.

Cornmeal is used as a base ingredient in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and tortillas, providing texture and a mild corn flavor. Manufacturers use it for its grainy texture and ability to absorb moisture, making it useful in batters and doughs.

Blue cornmeal is considered a whole grain and a source of fiber, carbohydrates, and some micronutrients. The FDA lists cornmeal as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use in food. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated corn and its derivatives, generally finding them safe for consumption. Evidence suggests that whole grains, like those found in blue cornmeal, are part of a healthy diet.
