About Cornmeal
Spoon or pour the dry grains into the cup and level without packing. Match the recipe's fine, medium or coarse grind before converting; a coarse polenta product is not necessarily the same ingredient.
Cornmeal is not cornstarch, and regional use of the name corn flour can be ambiguous. Check the package description and cooking instructions rather than choosing a product solely by the translated name.
Tips for measuring Cornmeal
