What is Unico Corn Meal?
Yellow corn degermed and ground to a coarse meal. The coarser grind is what makes it right for polenta (cooked into a creamy or firm porridge), cornbread and muffins, and a crunchy coating for fried fish, chicken and vegetables — where the fine corn flour would be too smooth.
Why Choose Unico Corn Meal?
- Coarse grind ideal for polenta
- Crunchy coating for fried foods
- The classic cornbread grain
- Coarser than fine corn flour
