What it is
Cornmeal is a coarse flour made from dried, ground corn kernels. It is a staple food in many cultures, particularly in the Americas. The type of corn used and the fineness of the grind determine the texture and flavor of the cornmeal.
Why it's used
Cornmeal is used as a thickening agent in dishes like polenta and grits, and as a base for cornbread and muffins. It can also be used as a coating for fried foods, adding a crispy texture. Its mild, slightly sweet corn flavor makes it versatile in both sweet and savory applications.
Health notes
Cornmeal 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-derived ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Cornmeal is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
