Do you know the difference between cornmeal and masa flour, and polenta? #cornmeal #corn #food
'This the season for corn, so let's learn about it! Do you know the difference between cornmeal and masa flour, and polenta?
Cornmeal: A mixture of courser and softer ground-up flour, making a mealier bread.
Masa flour: Softer, finer flour that is soaked in an alkaline solution to make it extra soft and maleable. This is better for a tortilla!
Polenta: Can you guess the difference here?

Polenta Veggie Slice | Cornmeal Savoury Slice | Gluten-free | Eggless |
Polenta or Cornmeal porridge is a popular dish from Northern Italy. Often served as part of a main meal with meat and/or vegetables, polenta sometimes is cooled to solidify and then sliced to fry, grill or bake. Polenta is a healthy gluten-free grain and good source of antioxidants as well as complex carbohydrates. Plain polenta is fairly low in calories, contains very low amounts of vitamins and minerals, and negligible amount of fat. However it is very versatile so you can add anything to enhance flavour and increase nutritional value of your polenta. Choosing whole grain cornmeal is another way to ensure better nutrition from cooked polenta.

Saracen and other polenta
Italian polenta, from Latin pulmentum, is a firm and nutritious gruel that nowadays is predominantly made from corn. Very similar dishes with different names exist all over the world, from the Rumanian mamaliga to the East African ugali. But what was it made of before the arrival of corn from the Americas? Well, many things: barley, for once, was a common staple in Ancient Rome. Other possibilities were chestnuts, millet or, from the Middle Ages on and during the Renaissance, buckwheat. Buckwheat in Italian is called “grano saraceno“, Saracene grain, because it was introduced from Asia via the Middle East. And therefore this Northern Italian buckwheat polenta (in its local variations, here admittedly mixed with some corn flour) is called polenta saracena or polenta taragna. (A little fun fact: corn in Italian is called “granoturco“ - Turkish grain.) It is commonly mixed with butter and cheese and can be served with many toppings, like mushrooms in this case.
Leftover polenta, no matter from which grain it’s made, is a wonderful thing: You can fry it, you can gratinate it, you can make it into a sandwich, or you can deep-fry it into polenta fries.
