POLENTA, 11 Commonly Asked Questions

What is polenta? Polenta is derived from corn but not the traditional “corn on the cob” species. The term “polenta” historically once also referred other grains and legumes used to make it. Polenta is often served as a porridge or molded, sliced and reheated. Generally speaking, polenta can be considered a type of cornmeal which technically means milled corn or maize.

The cornmeal that most people are familiar with is steel-milled which removes most of the husk and germ of the corn. Stone-ground cornmeal is like polenta as it retains more of the whole kernel. Cornmeal types tend to have a uniform texture and are better than polenta when used as a flour for baked goods like cornbread. Polenta meal is most always a medium coarse uneven texture, but cornmeal that’s labeled “coarse ground” is often used interchangeably.
