About Whole grain blue corn flour

Whole-grain blue corn flour is milled from blue or blue-purple maize kernels while retaining the whole-kernel components. The flour is typically blue-gray to purplish, with colour varying by corn and milling; its texture can range from fine to somewhat coarse and its flavour is corn-like, often mildly earthy.

It is used in baked goods, batters, and traditional corn-based preparations. Products differ in grind and in whether the corn was treated before milling. This entry is for blue-corn flour, not blue cornmeal or whole blue kernels.
