I don't buy bread anymore! The new perfect recipe for quick bread with nuts
In Africa cornmeal is the most common staple food next to rice and in the United States cornmeal is also extremely popular.
Cornmeal can be used in most recipes that call for flour but it is usually coarser than regular flour. However it is also available in fine to medium and very coarse (as in the case of hominy grits.) It is used to make taco shells tortillas tamales and more and is also popular in certain desserts.
It can be used to bread things to make them crispy or simmered slowly with water or milk to make a creamy polenta. It often has a slight corn flavor but is considered quite mild. Cornmeal is also gluten-free and plant-based so anyone who can eat corn can enjoy it!
