Corn Flour

Corn Flour

Corn flour is made from finely ground dried corn (Zea mays), a naturally gluten-free grain that is widely used in both savory and sweet gluten-free dishes. Corn flour has a fine texture and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. It is often used in gluten-free baking, as well as in thickening sauces, soups, and gravies. Corn flour is highly versatile and can be combined with other gluten-free flours to create a wide range of gluten-free products. It is a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, as it provides a safe alternative to wheat flour while also being rich in nutrients.
