Corn meal is simply dried and ground corn, and can be used in bread, batters, casseroles, polenta, and more.
When we first opened Core Goods at the end of September 2018, we had just one wall of 36 bins. A few weeks later, though, we added a shelf in the center of the store with 24 more bins. We were excited to stock our shelves with even more dried foods, and one of the new items we added was corn meal.
It contains just one ingredient–organic yellow corn meal–and can be used in a variety of ways (see recipes below). As far as its nutritional make up, it contains high amounts of protein, fiber, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and niacin (learn more). It’s also naturally gluten-free!
