You can find whole cornmeal in the organic aisle or health food stores.  The label should mention either whole or stone ground.)<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Popcorn<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Whole Grain Corn Grits<\/span> (whole kernels chopped into bits. For whole-grain corn grits, search for those labeled &#8220;speckled heart grits&#8221;, one of the few types processed from whole kernel corn. Cooks in about 50 minutes).<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">Hominy<\/span> (a type of dried corn that has been cooked with an alkali to separate the inedible hull from the kernel. Cooks in about 90 minutes after overnight soaking. Available forms: whole kernel, grits).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;color:red;\">Storing:<\/div>\n<p>Like any other whole grain flour whole cornmeal too should be stored in an airtight container in the freezer, to keep the oils in the germ from going rancid.  This would give a shelf life from 4 to 6 months.  Store dried whole kernels and popcorn in sealed plastic or glass containers.  This should keep good for a year.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;color:red;\">Baking with corn:<\/div>\n<p>Since cornmeal is gluten free, it has to be accompanied by some wheat flour.  I was able to find Bob&#8217;s Red Mill brand medium grind whole corn meal in the organic aisle of the grocery store.  What I noticed was the corn meal being medium grind the cake I baked was gritty.  It did not cook completely.  So I processed the remaining in the food processor a couple (this is an understatement, I had to do it a lot) of times to get a finer texture.  So I would suggest getting the finer one or have the patience to grind it.  <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;color:red;\">Sources for the above information:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>King Arthur&#8217;s Whole Grain Baking<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/healthy-eating\/what-is-a-whole-grain\/index.html\" >Food Network<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wholegrainscouncil.org\/whole-grains-101\/whole-grains-a-to-z\" >Whole Grains Council<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;color:red;\">Recipe Ideas:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/search.kingarthurflour.com\/search.jsp?rt=r&#038;Ntt=cornmeal&#038;N=1000014&#038;Nty=1\" >King Arthur&#8217;s Flours<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wareaglemill.com\/hidden\/search.php?search=cornmeal&#038;button=Go\" >War Eagle Mill<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>King Arthur&#8217;s Whole Grain Baking (This book is worth buying or at least borrow it from your local library.
