White Whole Corn

Cornmeal is coarse flour (or meal) made of ground yellow corn ranging in texture from fine to coarse grounds. Most yellow cornmeal is made from dent corn, which has a high starch content and a prominent corny texture.

grits

Yellow Grits

Grits are made from a less sweet, starchy variety of corn, such as dent corn. The corn goes through a type of processing that soaks the dried grains which removes the hard hull; the resulting grain is referred to as hominy.

Yellow Flour

Corn flour is a type of flour milled from dried whole corn kernels. It’s considered a whole grain flour because it contains the corn’s hull, germ, and endosperm. Corn flour is usually yellow, but it can also be white or blue, depending on the variety of the corn used. The texture is fine and smooth, similar to whole wheat flour.

The Corn Kernel Explained

About Our Corn

Food starts with the corn kernel and its four unique parts: the endosperm, pericarp, germ and tip cap. We use those four parts of the corn kernel to make grits, meals, flours, and whole grain corn flours.

Endosperm

The endosperm carries most of the dry weight of the kernel. This part of the kernel contains starch, which is commonly used in food. The endosperm provides the starch necessary to produce sugar molecules for ethanol production. Products that come from this part are grits, meals and flours. Flour is the finest out of all three products made from the endosperm and grits are coarsest.

Germ

The germ is the only living part of the kernel and is the centermost piece. This part stores genetic information, enzymes, vitamins and minerals for the kernel so it can grow when it is on the ear. Twenty-five percent of the germ is oil, making it one of the most valuable parts of the kernel.

Tip cap

This part attaches the kernel to the cob. Water and nutrients flow through here to help the kernel alive.

Whole kernel

We grind the whole corn kernel down to a specific granulation to make our whole grain corn meal.
