A powdery flour made of finely ground from corn meal, it is different from corn meal. Corn flour is grind from the whole kernel, which obtains from the endosperm portion of the kernel.

Corn flour is ground to a fine chalky white powder and is a valuable thickening agent in sauces. It is also added to some cakes and biscuits. Corn meal is much coarser, used to make polenta, muffins and some breads, in particular corn bread. And in some countries, what is so called corn flour is actually finely ground corn meal. And of course, we also have corn starch.
