Organic Stoneground Corn

Organic stoneground corn is whole corn that has been ground between two millstones, a traditional method that retains more of the grain's natural oils and nutrients. This process results in a coarser texture than commercially milled cornmeal. It is derived from corn, a grain crop widely cultivated in the United States.

Manufacturers use organic stoneground corn as a whole grain ingredient, providing texture and a corn flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and snack foods like tortilla chips and pretzels. Its coarse texture can add a rustic quality to products.

Organic stoneground corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fiber and nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and its components. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical consumption as a food ingredient.
