What You Should Know

You might spot this bag of organic polenta in the grains aisle or on a farmer-style shelf when planning a cozy weekend meal — think creamy polenta for brunch or a comforting side for dinner. It gives a wholesome, nostalgic vibe (cornmeal texture and simple cooking) and, because the ingredient list is just corn, it reflects minimal processing rather than being ultraprocessed: coarse milled texture from simple milling, no additives.
