Organic Whole Grain Yellow Corn Meal

Organic whole grain yellow corn meal is made from dried yellow corn kernels that have been ground into a coarse meal. The whole grain includes the bran, germ, and endosperm, providing a more complete nutritional profile than refined corn meal. It is a staple food derived from a widely cultivated grain.

Corn meal is used as a thickening agent in dishes like polenta and grits, and as a base for cornbread and muffins. It also adds texture and a mild corn flavor to baked goods, cereals, and snack foods. Manufacturers use it for its binding properties and to create a desirable crumb structure.

Corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products. While generally considered safe in typical dietary amounts, excessive intake of any single grain without a balanced diet may not be optimal.
