Plural of cornmeal; multiple types, batches, or quantities of ground corn used in cooking.
From 'cornmeal' with the plural suffix '-s'. This pluralization is used to describe either different varieties of cornmeal (white cornmeal, yellow cornmeal, stone-ground cornmeal) or multiple batches of the ground grain product.
Different cornmeals (white versus yellow, coarse versus fine) create entirely different dishes due to how pigments and grain size interact with water and heat—making cornmeal texture taxonomy a serious concern in traditional Caribbean and Southern cooking!
