Questions about Yellow whole grain corn flour
Can you use yellow whole grain corn flour to make polenta?
Yes. Whisk it gradually into simmering water or stock, then cook over a low heat, stirring often, until creamy and tender; whole-grain flour can take longer than finely milled cornmeal, so follow the packet’s cooking time.
How do you stop corn flour going lumpy?
Whisk the flour into cold water first to make a smooth paste, then stir it into the hot liquid. For a cooked porridge or sauce, keep whisking as it thickens.
Can you use it instead of wheat flour in baking?
Not as a straight swap: it has no gluten, so cakes and bread can turn crumbly. Replace part of the wheat flour in a recipe, or use a recipe designed for corn flour and a suitable binder.
What is the difference between corn flour and cornmeal?
Corn flour is milled more finely, while cornmeal has a coarser, grainier texture. Both can be made from whole grain; check the description, as the word “corn flour” can also mean a fine starch in some places.
How should you store yellow whole grain corn flour?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard. Because the germ remains in whole-grain flour, it can turn rancid sooner than refined flour; refrigerate or freeze it for longer storage.
What can you make with yellow whole grain corn flour?
Use it for cornbread, tortillas, pancakes, dumplings or a savoury porridge. For tortillas, ordinary corn flour may not hold together well; masa harina, made from maize treated with lime, is the traditional choice.
What nutrients stand out in yellow whole grain corn flour?
It is a source of fibre, zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, vitamin B1 and vitamin B6. A 30 g spooned portion provides 2.2 g of fibre.
