{"product_id":"organic-corn-flour-500g","title":"Organic Corn Flour 500g","description":"\u003cp\u003eCorn flour is finely milled dried maize — a smooth, pale yellow powder with a light, neutral, slightly sweet corn flavour.

Divide into 10 balls. Press each between two sheets of baking paper using a heavy pan. Cook in a dry, hot cast iron pan for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly charred. Stack and keep warm in a cloth. Serve with beans, avocado, salsa, and coriander — far superior to shop-bought corn tortillas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutritional Values per 100g\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1473 kJ \/ 352 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Saturates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrates\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e73g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOf Which Sugars\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.6g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.3g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic Corn Flour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs corn flour the same as cornstarch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the UK, corn flour typically refers to cornstarch — a pure refined starch used only as a thickener. This product is fine whole corn (maize) flour — similar to masa harina — which is more nutritious, more flavourful, and can be used in baking as well as thickening. Check recipes carefully, as American recipes use \"cornstarch\" for the pure starch and \"corn flour\" for this type of ground corn product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs corn flour gluten-free?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — maize is naturally gluten-free. Suitable for coeliac disease (check for cross-contamination risk on the label).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use corn flour instead of plain flour in baking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot as a complete 1:1 substitute — corn flour lacks gluten, so it doesn't provide structure in the same way. Use as part of a gluten-free flour blend, or use it as the primary flour in specifically corn-based recipes like tortillas, arepas, and cornbread where no gluten structure is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Natural Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49215428919548,"sku":"JNO8880","price":2.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/4683\/9207\/files\/JN162_large_0317aae3-c24e-4deb-9699-fd0bf191a2ca.jpg?v=1781961202","url":"https:\/\/econaturalproducts.co.uk\/products\/organic-corn-flour-500g","provider":"Eco Natural Products","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
