What it is
Stone ground non-GMO corn is corn that has been milled using traditional stone grinding wheels. This method is distinct from modern roller milling and is often chosen to preserve more of the corn's natural oils and nutrients. The term 'non-GMO' indicates that the corn was not genetically modified.
Why it's used
Stone ground non-GMO corn is used as a whole grain ingredient, providing texture and a mild corn flavor. It is commonly found in tortilla chips, cornmeal, polenta, and other snack foods where a more rustic or natural profile is desired.
Health notes
