CORN FLOUR

CORN is one of the few rare plants that has been cultivated for thousands of years. The findings obtained from all archaeological excavations show that the corn plant has a history of 8,000 to 10,000 years. Some studies have determined that corn spread to the world from the American continent. The corn plant has spread very quickly and easily all over the world thanks to its high reproduction rate (producing about a thousand from one seed) and high yield potential. Since corn can be grown in tropical, subtropical and temperate climate zones, corn farming is possible in almost all countries of the world to a greater or lesser extent. The fact that this plant is called corn in our country is an indication that it entered through Egypt and Syria.

Corn is the most cultivated cereal crop in the world after wheat and paddy. Although corn can be grown in almost every region of our country, it is mostly concentrated in the Black Sea Region.

CORN FLOUR

After the corns are collected and their outer shells are broken off, they are dried well in the sun so that they do not mold. With the development of technology, this drying process is also provided by large drying machines. In addition, in the drying process, roasting the corns in the cob in the oven both makes them dry faster and the roasting of the corns gives the corn a more saturated flavor. Then, the dried corns need to be crumbled and separated from their cobs. The corns separated into grains are taken to the mills and ground well and then turned into flour. It has a light yellow color, a thin, soft texture, and roasted corn has a darker and more intense smell than other corn. Although corn flour is opaque and remains white when dissolved in water, heat turns this solution into a transparent state.

CORN FLOUR PROTECTION METHOD;

They should be stored in a closed box, preferably glass or plastic, in cool, dry and closed places. The refrigerator is a suitable storage place in terms of coolness and dryness, but flour absorbs the odors in the refrigerator very quickly. As a solution, flour can be protected with an extra storage container or bag. Placing a bay leaf, horse chestnut or walnut leaf on it will help keep insects and bad odors away from corn flour. You can apply these storage methods to other flours and grains as well. Additive-free and natural flours do not contain additives to whiten or yellow them. Especially in order to keep the shelf life long, you should store and preserve all the natural flours you have purchased in this way, as there are no chemical additives. Corn flour that has been waiting for a long time has a slight darkening in appearance and a bitter taste when eaten.
