What it is

Precooked yellow corn meal is made from dried yellow corn kernels that have been cooked, usually with steam or hot water, and then dried again before being ground into a meal. This process makes the corn easier to digest and cook with, and it can also affect the texture and flavor of the final product.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use precooked yellow corn meal as a binder and thickener in a variety of baked goods. It adds a slightly sweet corn flavor and a tender texture, and is commonly found in muffins, pastries, cornbread, and some breakfast cereals.

Health notes

Precooked yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and corn products. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

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