Fine Corn Meal Organic (Sold In Bulk)

Fine cornmeal is a finely ground version of cornmeal made from dried corn kernels. It’s a staple in many types of cuisine, especially in Southern and Latin American cooking. The finer texture makes it great for dishes that need a delicate, smooth texture, compared to the coarser varieties that give a more gritty, rustic feel.

Common Uses of Fine Cornmeal:

1. Baking:
   • Cornbread: Fine cornmeal is often used in cornbread recipes to create a soft, moist crumb. It can also be used in muffins and other baked goods.
   • Cakes and Pastries: It's sometimes used in cake batters and pastry crusts for a light corn flavor and texture.
2. Porridge: It’s commonly cooked into a creamy porridge called polenta or grits (depending on the region), which can be eaten plain, with cheese, or topped with vegetables or meats.
3. Breading: Fine cornmeal is sometimes used as a coating for fried foods like fish, chicken, or vegetables. It gives a crisp, golden exterior while keeping the inside tender.
4. Tortillas: In Mexican cuisine, fine cornmeal is sometimes used to make tortillas, either alone or combined with other flours.
5. Thickener: You can use fine cornmeal to thicken soups, stews, or gravies. When stirred into hot liquids, it will absorb moisture and create a thick, smooth texture.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Fiber: Cornmeal provides a good amount of fiber, which helps with digestion.
• Vitamins and Minerals: It's a decent source of important vitamins like B vitamins (especially thiamine) and minerals like magnesium and zinc.
• Gluten-Free: Cornmeal is naturally gluten-free, making it an excellent choice for people with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.
