About Cornmeal, whole-grain, yellow

Yellow cornmeal is dried corn kernels ground to a gritty meal, and the whole-grain version keeps the bran and germ for fuller flavor and nutrition. Naturally gluten-free, it is the heart of American cornbread and Southern grits, Italian polenta, and crisp coatings for fried foods the world over.

At about 362 calories per 100 grams of dry meal, it is mostly starch but, being wholegrain, retains useful fiber along with B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and the yellow carotenoid pigments lutein and zeaxanthin that give it its color. Corn contains no gluten, making cornmeal a reliable choice for celiacs, though it does not provide the structure of wheat in baking.

Its texture is the appeal: cornmeal gives cornbread its crumbly bite, polenta its creamy body, and fried foods a crunchy crust. Coarser grinds suit polenta and grits while finer ones blend into batters. Like other wholegrain flours, the germ's oils mean it keeps best stored cool.
