Corn Flour

Corn Flour

EverydayDry

Corn flour is a finely ground powder made from dried whole corn kernels, distinct from coarser cornmeal and starch-extracted cornstarch. This naturally gluten-free grain alternative provides concentrated carbohydrates with moderate fiber content, though it contains less protein than wheat flours. Its bright yellow color and subtly sweet flavor make it essential for traditional Latin American tortillas, while also serving as a versatile thickener for sauces and base for baked goods.
