What it is

Yellow degermed corn meal is a coarse flour made from dried corn kernels. The germ, or embryo, of the corn kernel is removed before milling, resulting in a meal that is lighter in color and has a longer shelf life. It is a staple grain product in many cuisines.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use yellow degermed corn meal as a base ingredient in baked goods like cornbread, muffins, and biscuits. It also serves as a thickener for sauces and gravies and can be used to create polenta or grits. Its mild flavor and texture make it versatile in both sweet and savory dishes.

Health notes

Yellow degermed corn meal 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 and corn products, generally considering them safe as food ingredients. There are no widespread health controversies associated with its typical consumption.

Allergen info

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