Cornmeal is a product from drying and grinding kernels of yellow corn, while corn flour is making a fine powder from Cornmeal. There are two types of corn flour the white corn flour and yellow corn flour. Cornmeal has more substance and can be used as food on its own, while corn flour cannot be used as food on its own. Cornmeal is refined by removing the protein and fiber of the corn kernel leaving only the starchy center called endosperm. The cornmeal and corn flour only difference is their texture. They have other things in common, Cornmeal is referred to as cornflour in someplace. They can both be used for breeding needs. The stone-ground Cornmeal is the whole grain option, while regular Cornmeal will contain more nutrients.

Cornmeal and Corn flour are two types of ingredients that are kitchen staples. They are typically used to coat meats such as chicken and fish before frying them. Cornmeal and Corn flour can also be used in dishes like cornbread or corn muffins. They share in common that they are made from corn that has been milled and dried. One of the key differences between them is the texture of them. Cornmeal has a more gritty feel to it. This is compared to corn flour, which is smooth and fine. The reason for this is how it is grounded. Corn flour is grounded more finely, while cornmeal is more coarsely grounded.
