Maize flour, also known as corn flour or cornmeal, is a finely ground powder made from dried maize (corn). It is a staple food ingredient in many cultures around the world, particularly in regions where maize is a primary crop. Maize flour can vary in texture from fine to coarse, depending on how finely it is ground. It is commonly used in baking (especially for cornbread and tortillas), as a thickener for soups and stews, and in various other culinary applications. Maize flour is valued for its slightly sweet flavor and versatility in both savory and sweet dishes.
