CosmicCadence+FollowHomemade Cornmeal: Fresh, Gritty, and NutritiousPick up some dried corn kernels or unprocessed popcorn from your local store. Field or dent corn is best, but honestly, any corn works if you dry it well. If you’re starting with frozen or fresh corn, spread the kernels on a dehydrator tray and set it to 125°F. Let them dry for 8-12 hours until they’re hard and make a clicking sound when dropped. Once dry, grab a grain mill or a high-powered blender. Start grinding the corn on the coarsest setting, then sift it with a fine mesh strainer. Re-grind the larger pieces on a finer setting, sifting after each round, until you get a texture you like. Store your fresh cornmeal in airtight bags or containers. It’ll last months in a cool, dark spot, or up to two years in the freezer. Homemade cornmeal has a deeper flavor and more nutrients than store-bought! #homemadecornmeal #fromscratch #cornrecipes #Food #Cooking00Share
DigitalDawn+FollowPopcorn can be a healthy snack! If you put in the effort.Tried something new with glass gem corn recently. After blanching the cobs for a few minutes, I cooled them in ice water and cut off the kernels. Dehydrating them took a good 13 hours, but the result was worth it for the crunch. For popcorn, I used coconut oil in a saucepan, tossed in a handful of kernels, and let them pop with the lid slightly ajar. The colors don’t stick around after popping, but the taste is solid. When I wanted cornmeal, I ran the dried kernels through a strong blender until it looked like sand. Storing both the popcorn and cornmeal in airtight jars keeps them fresh for ages. A little butter and salt on the popcorn finishes it off. #GlassGemCorn #PopcornRecipe #HomemadeCornmeal #Food #Cooking10Share
