Food to Live Old Fashioned Yellow Cornmeal is the product of grinding dried yellow corn grains into finely milled powder. Traditionally, it is produced with the stone-grinding method, which implies that the hull and the germ are retained. To avoid being confused with different types of coarse corn, let’s talk about how old-fashioned cornmeal, corn flour, corn grits, and polenta differ. The main difference between corn flour and cornmeal is that the second one has a sandy texture and is found to be coarser. Grits are produced from corn with removed germs; thus, their texture is a bit softer and creamier than cornmeal. Polenta is also a hulled and crushed grain and is very similar to grits with one key exception: in comparison to grits, it is more consistent in particle size.
