Cornmeal
 
 
 


Cornmeal, not to be confused with cornstarch, is a meal ground from dried corn kernels. There are two grades: coarse, used for polenta (an Italian cereal) and for cornmeal mush; and fine, ground from white, yellow or blue corn and used in quick breads, as a coating and occasionally as a thickener. Fine grade is more common. Either grade can be stone-ground, in which the germ and hull of the corn is ground too, so the meal has more vitamins but is also more perishable. More typical is steel-ground cornmeal, produced by a modern process that removes the husk and germ so the meal is more highly refined.
