Corn Meal

This is a plain, single grain pantry staple: degerminated yellow corn meal enriched with a few B vitamins and iron, meant for cornbread, muffins, and breading rather than eating on its own. There is nothing to hide in the ingredient list, and a 3 tablespoon serving runs 90 calories with 0g fat, 0g sugar, and 0mg sodium, so it adds no junk to whatever you bake. The honest limitation is that degerminated means the corn germ has been removed, which leaves only 1g of fiber per serving and makes this closer to a refined starch than a whole grain. A health minded shopper who wants more fiber and intact nutrients would reach for a whole grain or stone ground cornmeal instead.
