What it is

White degermed cornmeal is a type of corn flour made from dried corn kernels. The germ and hull of the corn kernel are removed, and the remaining starchy endosperm is ground into a coarse meal. This process results in a lighter color and longer shelf life compared to whole cornmeal.

Why it's used

Degermed cornmeal is often used as a base for baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and pizza crusts. It can also be used as a thickener for soups and gravies, or as a coating for fried foods. Its mild flavor and gritty texture make it versatile in various recipes.

Health notes

White degermed cornmeal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and some B vitamins. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products. While generally considered safe, like many refined grains, it is lower in fiber and nutrients than whole grain cornmeal.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
