cornmeal vs. corn flour

cornmeal vs. corn flour: ������'s the difference?

Cornmeal and corn flour are both made from dried corn, but cornmeal is coarsely-ground and grittier than corn flour, which has a smooth, fine texture like wheat flour. Both are used for baking, but cornmeal often gives a thicker, grittier texture, and is more common in recipes. In the U.K., the term corn flour often refers to cornstarch, which is a powder commonly used to thicken sauces.
