What it is

Whole yellow corn meal is made from dried, ground whole yellow corn kernels. It is a coarse flour that includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the corn kernel. This process retains more of the corn's natural nutrients and fiber compared to refined cornmeal.

Why it's used

Whole yellow corn meal is used as a base ingredient in many baked goods, providing texture and a mild corn flavor. It is also used in batters for fried foods, as a thickener for sauces and gravies, and as a component in polenta and cornbread.

Health notes

Whole yellow corn meal is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and some vitamins and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn and corn products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whole corn meal in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

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