What it is

Organic cornmeal is a coarse flour made from dried, ground corn kernels. It is produced from whole corn kernels, including the bran and germ, and is certified organic, meaning it's grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a staple in many cuisines, especially in the Americas.

Why it's used

Cornmeal is used as a thickening agent in dishes like polenta and grits, and as a key ingredient in cornbread, muffins, and pancakes. It can also be used as a coating for fried foods, providing a crisp texture. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it versatile in both sweet and savory applications.

Health notes

Organic cornmeal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and dietary fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products, and they are considered safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption of cornmeal.

Allergen info

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