About Yellow whole-grain corn flour

Yellow whole-grain corn flour is finely ground meal made from yellow corn kernels with the bran, germ, and endosperm retained. It is typically yellow and powdery to lightly granular, with a characteristic corn aroma and a mildly sweet, earthy flavour.

It is used in baking and cooked preparations, often combined with other flours or ingredients. Grind size and corn variety vary by product. It is distinct from refined corn flour and from coarser yellow cornmeal, though the boundary between flour and meal can vary by market.
