Self-Rising Enriched Yellow Corn Meal Mix

Corn can be eaten as a vegetable or milled into a variety of products, and ranges in color from white to yellow to blue. Milled corn, or cornmeal, is dried corn with the bran and/or germ polished off, and the remaining endosperm finely or coarsely ground. Bolted cornmeal has been sifted through a fine screen.

Wheat flour is the powder made from grinding wheat. The wheat grain has three parts: the endosperm (mostly protein and starch), the germ (protein, fat and vitamins) and the bran (fiber). Wheat flour, also called white flour or refined flour, is made from the endosperm only. Whole wheat flour includes the endosperm, bran and germ. Flour may be unbleached or bleached. Bleaching softens the flour and lightens the flour, producing baked goods with a softer texture, more volume and a brighter color than baked goods made from unbleached flour. Flour may be enriched or unenriched. Enriched flour includes added nutrients that were lost when the brand and germ were removed during processing.
