Cornmeal: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers products made from ground dried maize (corn). It includes cornmeal, polenta, and cornflour, which vary in coarseness. These are often used as thickening agents in cooking or as a base for dishes like porridge or flatbreads. When looking at the packaging, the ingredient list will show the primary ingredient, which is typically maize or corn. For cornflour, the ingredient list will confirm it is made from maize. For other cornmeal products, the list may specify the type of maize used. Nutrition labels on these products generally show energy content, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt per serving. Fibre content can also be a notable feature, particularly in coarser ground cornmeal. As these products are often used as ingredients in other foods, the nutritional contribution will depend on the portion size and how they are prepared.
