Native Fine Blue Cornmeal

With coarse flecks of lapis against lavender-hued slate, Appalachian blue cornmeal has historic ties to the foodways of the Carolinas and Georgia that date back to pre-Columbian times. In colonial days, Southern plantation farmers grew kitchen gardens with native corns of many colors for grits and meal. A traditional Native American dumpling and bread meal featuring a kaleidoscope of rich mineral and sweet corn flavors, our Native Fine Blue Cornmeal will fluoresce from deep blue to blue-green or from deep purple to red depending upon the valence of acidity or alkalinity in recipes in which it is used.
