Corn Flour
Corn flour, labelled cornstarch in North America, is the starch separated out of the kernel: white, powder fine, and no corn flavour left in it. Cornmeal is the whole kernel ground. Build a cornbread on corn flour and there is no grain in there to give it structure. See our Corn Flour converter.
Corn Kernels
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.
