Corn Flour haitien

Corn flour is a fine, powdery flour made from ground corn (maize). It is typically pale yellow in color and is widely used in cooking and baking. Depending on the processing method, corn flour can be made from either whole corn kernels or just the endosperm.

In culinary uses, corn flour is often used to thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, as well as in baking recipes to create a light texture in cakes, cookies, and bread. It is gluten-free, making it a popular choice for people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Corn flour is distinct from cornmeal, which has a coarser texture. It can also be used to coat foods for frying, adding a crisp texture. In some regions, corn flour is referred to as cornstarch, though there are slight differences in their use (cornstarch is a fine, white powder used mainly as a thickener, while corn flour is yellow and used more in baking).
