Maize flour or corn flour is a flour ground from dried maize (corn). It is a common staple food, and is ground to coarse, medium, and fine consistencies. Coarsely ground corn flour (meal) is known as cornmeal.

Maize flour is used to make bread, muffins, doughnuts, pancake mixes, infant foods, biscuits, wafers, breakfast cereals and breadings, and as a filler, binder and carrier in meat products.

Maize flour is finely milled from maize kernels, and is naturally gluten-free and golden yellow adding lovely colour to your recipes. It has a distinct flavour of its own, and also works well as a blend with white rice and tapioca starch.

What are the benefits of maize?

Corn is a healthy grain and source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It may promote eye and digestive health. Refined corn products, however, such as tortilla chips, offer fewer health benefits. Also known as maize (Zea mays), corn is one of the world's most popular cereal grains.
