cornmeals

Coarse yellow flours

Cornmeals is the plural of cornmeal, referring to different types or grades of ground dried corn.

Cornmeal varies by grind—fine, medium, or coarse—and by the corn used: yellow, white, or blue.

The recipe calls for stone-ground cornmeals rather than mass-produced versions.

The plural appears when distinguishing varieties or comparing products.
