Corn Groat

Corn groat is a product derived from corn kernels and is used in various industries, particularly in food production through extrusion processes. Corn-based extruded products include crisps in many shapes, flavors, and colors, as well as breakfast cereals in a wide range of taste and nutritional compositions. Corn groat is also used to prepare polenta – a dish well-known in Southern Europe, served as a side to meat and vegetarian dishes or as a standalone meal with sauces, cheese, olive oil, or vegetables. It is an excellent alternative to other grains and rice. Additionally, corn groat is rich in carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, making it a valuable part of a healthy diet. It is highly appreciated by individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Beyond its gluten-free nature, corn grit is easy to process and has a neutral taste, making it suitable for a variety of food products – not only for those following a gluten-free diet but also for anyone seeking Southern flavors in their meals.
