Popular throughout the world, corn is a staple of gluten free diets because it provides an excellent source of carbohydrate. Rich in fibre, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and selenium, it is also a source of potassium, complex B Vitamins, Vitamin A and Vitamin E.
Traditionally, cornstarch is used in gluten free products to bulk and thicken them and to lighten baking products - white cornstarch is a refined product made from corn. However, at Hale & Hearty we use mostly unrefined yellow cornmeal, unrefined cornflour and polenta. all of which have a deliciously crunchy and wholesome texture.
