PROPERTIES: One of the properties of organic corn flour is that it has a high energy value, similar to wheat, although it has a higher amount of fats and less protein. It is also a flour that contains many vitamins and minerals. It contains vitamin A, B1, B5, and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, zinc, magnesium, and potassium. Thanks to this, it strengthens the skeletal system and stimulates its growth, and benefits heart health and the nervous system. Another characteristic that defines corn flour is its high fiber content. This will provide us with a satiating effect and is beneficial for preventing digestive disorders, regulating the intestines, and reducing the risk of constipation. The yellow color it presents is due to the carotenoids it contains. These provide important properties to the body, such as fighting against cellular oxidation and improving vision. Lastly, due to its low sodium level, consuming corn flour is beneficial for those who suffer from hypertension or have high cholesterol.
PREPARATION: Organic corn flour does not contain gluten. However, the absence of this protein means that bread cannot be made exclusively with it, so it has to be mixed with other cereal flours (wheat, rice, oats) to achieve an appropriate consistency and elasticity. Corn flour is used mixed with other flours in breadings, cakes, or cookies, providing a slight sweet flavor. In addition to its use in baking, it is very suitable for giving a good texture to croquettes and savory cookies.
