Certified organic corn meal locally grown by Gianforte Farm in Cazenovia NY.
While cornmeal bought in a typical grocery store is de-germed to increase its shelf life, this cornmeal contains all of the germ and its associated oils and nutrients. Because of this, our cornmeal has a shelf life of only 2 weeks unless it is refrigerated or frozen.
Corn, or maize, was first cultivated in Central America where it became an integral part of the food, culture and religion of the Amerindians. Today, corn products are found in a high percentage of our processed food products and the commercial corn plant is hybridized and genetically modified, a plant far different than the original grass. Gianforte Farm certified organic corn meal is a far cry from modern corn products, not genetically modified, and has a higher nutrient density from being grown in biologically active soil.
Use Gianforte Farm cornmeal to make polenta, bake cornbread, or as a supplemental ingredient in other breads, pancakes or waffles. Grits is a traditional dish in the southern United States that can be made from our cornmeal. Or use cornmeal to dust baking pans to create an artisan look and taste.
