What it is
Yellow corn meal is a coarse flour made from dried, ground yellow corn. It is a staple grain product, often produced by milling dried corn kernels. The 'enriched' label means that certain vitamins and minerals, such as niacin, have been added back after processing.
Why it's used
Yellow corn meal is used as a primary ingredient in cornbread, muffins, and pancakes, providing texture and a characteristic corn flavor. It also serves as a thickener for soups and stews and can be used as a coating for fried foods to create a crispy crust.
Health notes
Yellow corn meal enriched with niacin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Niacin, also known as Vitamin B3, is an essential nutrient important for energy metabolism. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated niacin and established acceptable daily intakes. Consuming foods with added niacin helps prevent deficiencies.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
