Marsh Hen Mill Sea Island Blue Cornmeal | Corn with Floral Aroma | Perfect Stone Ground Cornmeal for Corn Bread | Traditional Blue Corn Flour | 100% Natural & Gluten Free, 24 oz (Pack of 1)

Hands down, the tastiest blue corn, which is from a non hybrid heirloom strain. Stone ground, which preserves more of the flavoring and antioxidant compounds. It's also Organic, which isn't obvious because they got it certified by Clemson University instead of the USDA and therefore can't list it on their materials. So what! It's certified.

Super blue and finly grinded. Makes blue corn pancakes not grainy at all.

Excellent cornmeal. I have used to make cornbread in a skillet, jalapeño corn muffins and cornmeal muffins. The flavor is very good and if you prefer buttermilk cornbread, just substitute buttermilk for the milk and add some baking soda. It is finely ground and mixes easily. I didn't give the 5th star only because of the cost.

At a lovely Central Coast breakfast venue we had some amazing blue cornmeal waffles for breakfast, and we thought we'd just find some blue cornmeal to make our own, and learned that, no matter how many local venues we searched to find it, nobody stocks it, and we live in California! Our only option was online. We learned about the difference between corn flour and corn meal and corn starch and other variations, and yellow cornmeal was terrific for waffles, but not quite the same as what we had with blue cornmeal. We look forward to using blue cornmeal for waffles this weekend.

Exactly what it promises to be. We made some very interesting looking pancakes but the taste was good and hardy.

No matter what I do with this cornbread recipe, it always turns out delicious. The color is beautiful as well.

The cornmeal arrived in clean packages. This corn meal is a fine grind which is what I was looking for. It isn't as fine as corn flour, but is finer than a medium grind if that helps as a description. This meal was ground in a consistant manner and I didn't find any large, unground chunks. It makes for a great cornmeal that isn't too gritty. I like that it is not enriched with all the iron and additives that is in most flours and meals you find at the supermarket. I have photo'd this blue cornmeal next to a yellow corn flour for comparison.

If someone were to have just handed me a bag of this stuff and said "cook some stuff" I would likely be singing it's praises from the highest mountaintops (or at largest hilltops I could find here in Texas.) Having instead purchased it for myself, I find it a little more difficult due largely to it's hefty pricetag. Don't get me wrong, the product itself is great. Flavor was a solid 10/10. Having said that, I did expect it to be significantly more coarse-ground. If the claim is "stone milled" though, I suppose an argument could be made for inconsistent grinds, and my receiving an uncharacteristically fine grind. When I say fine, though, I mean... this stuff is basically a flour. For what it's worth, I believe that also lends to how beautifully blue the resulting recipes have turned out. That is certainly not always the case with other, even quality, brands of blue cornmeal. As well, for as much work as they have clearly put into their packaging, you'd expect it to be... well... coherent. In the on-the-bag recipe for their cornbread, you have the ingredients for the cornbread, but then directions for grits. In the end, I just don't believe I can justify the price going forward. It is substantially cheaper if purchased direct from their website, but the cost of shipping makes that route undesirable unless you're buying like 4+ bags of the stuff.
