About Cornmeal, degermed, unenriched, yellow
Yellow degermed cornmeal skips the enrichment step, so what you get is refined corn starch with minimal fat and only the nutrients that survived milling intact. The yellow color comes from naturally occurring carotenoids in the corn. It grinds finely and makes smooth, even-textured polenta and cornbread, but without fortification it lacks the iron and B-vitamin boost that enriched versions provide.
