What it is
Stone ground corn flour is made from whole dried corn kernels that have been ground between two stones. This traditional milling method preserves more of the corn's natural nutrients and flavor compared to finer milling processes. It results in a coarser flour with a distinct texture.
Why it's used
Stone ground corn flour is used as a base ingredient in many foods, providing structure and a corn flavor. It is commonly found in products like tortillas, cornbread, and baked goods. Its coarse texture can also add a desirable chewiness or crunch.
Health notes
Stone ground corn flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and fiber. JECFA has evaluated corn flour and established an acceptable daily intake. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
