Organic polenta 2kg

A mild summer night, a happy babble of voices around a white tablecloth, and in the midst of this warm, exuberant atmosphere, it makes its entrance: freshly cooked, creamy polenta, whose seductive scent rises towards the bright starry sky.

Polenta – simple food with a great potential

While our office indulges in Italian summer night dreams with steaming polenta, we remember that this dish, consisting mostly of cornmeal, has always been considered a poor's meal, all the way from Spain to southern Russia. In the past, one-sided polenta-based diets often caused vitamin deficiencies. However, when properly prepared, high-fibre cornmeal is anything but nutrient-poor; moreover, the grits of which our organic polenta is made of are processed with valuable sprouts – usually removed and turned instead into high-quality oil.

Polenta – what is it?

By definition, polenta is a solid porridge made from cooked cornmeal. Like corn flour, cornmeal consists of maize kernel endosperm, but unlike flour, semolina is ground somewhat coarser. Especially in northern Italy, Provence and Spain, polenta – or synonymously maize semolina – is part of the regional cooking tradition. However, it is a popular dish across all national borders. Polenta is often discredited for tasting dry and bland. However, with selected herbs such as rosemary and thyme, and optionally with cheese and fine oils, the hearty semolina porridge becomes a creamy and aromatic taste experience.

Polenta – more than a side dish

Like mashed potatoes, polenta is often served as a side dish with meat, fish or vegetables. But polenta slices baked in the pan until golden brown or roast patties also make a wholesome lunch with a green salad. The semolina is also ideal for a hearty polenta casserole or wheat-free polenta pizza. But not only delicious polenta variations can be prepared from maize semolina. Its slightly sweet taste also makes maize grits a popular ingredient for porridge aka. breakfast porridge or sweet desserts. Cornmeal can also be used for gluten-free* baking of bread, rolls or biscuits..
