Cornmeal is dried corn ground to a coarse or medium texture, used for cornbread, polenta, dusting baking trays, and crisp pizza crusts. One metric cup (250 ml) of cornmeal weighs around 170 grams or 6 ounces. The grind size affects how it absorbs liquid, so weighing in grams gives a steadier result than scooping.

Coarse cornmeal packs heavier than fine, so a cup of one may weigh 15 grams more than a cup of the other. Measuring by weight removes that variation and keeps cornbread and polenta consistent.

  • polenta
  • maize meal
  • ground corn

Corn flour (cornstarch in North America) is a fine white starch extracted from corn, while cornmeal is the whole grain ground coarse or medium. They are not interchangeable: cornmeal adds crunch and corn flavour, corn flour thickens silently. Stick with what the recipe specifies. See our Corn Flour converter.

Need whole or frozen kernels rather than ground meal? The corn kernels converter handles cup and gram weights straight from the bag or can. See our Corn Kernels converter.
