Cornflakes (ground)

Description

Ground cornflakes have a straw-golden color and a fine, slightly crunchy texture with a subtle, naturally sweet and toasted aroma of corn. After grinding, they maintain a pleasant, slightly grainy flavor profile that easily combines with other ingredients. Nutritional values focus on carbohydrates providing quick energy, a small amount of protein, and, in whole grain versions, fiber that improves digestion. Commercial cornflakes may be enriched with B vitamins and iron, and with a natural composition, they are a gluten-free alternative (it is important to check for cross-contamination risks). In the kitchen, ground cornflakes work great as a coating, a crumble ingredient, a base for breadcrumbs, a thickener for soups and patties, and an addition to bread and cookies. It is best to store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, away from moisture and strong odors; for longer storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness and prevent mold.
