Yellow Corn Flour

Yellow Corn Flour

EverydayDry

Yellow corn flour is a gluten-free powder made by finely milling dried whole-grain corn kernels, distinguished by its vibrant golden hue from natural carotenoid antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. This staple in Latin American cooking creates a slightly sweet, earthy flavor and tender-yet-gritty texture in baked goods like tortillas and cornbread, while serving as a wheat flour alternative. Though lower in protein than wheat flour, it provides quick energy as a carbohydrate source but has a higher glycemic impact than whole-grain alternatives.
