Tips & Notes
• Degerminated cornmeal is refined and missing some of the natural corn nutrients. Look for bags or containers of 100% stone ground or 100% whole grain cornmeal.
• White whole-wheat flour contains all the same 100% whole-grain goodness as traditional whole-wheat flour. It’s just milder tasting and lighter in color.
