Organic Polenta 2lb by Hatton Hill Organic

HATTON HILL ORGANIC POLENTA One of the many Italian staple foods that have conquered the world, polenta is coarsely ground cornmeal typically used as a flavorsome base or an accompaniment for a wide range of other foods. Its name derives from Latin, which gives you some idea of its long history. Corn – naturally gluten free, and from which it is milled – is believed to have been the most important food crop throughout the ancient Americas. PURE, PREMIUM PRODUCT Hatton Hill Organic’s polenta is grown in the warmest parts of  Italy, where it is dried, milled and packed to seal in its fresh, sunny flavor. USES Polenta is a superb substitute for potatoes or pasta, and is typically simmered like porridge to cook – often in broth or herby stock preparations to impart additional flavor. From thereon out, it’s up to you how to use this versatile ingredient! At its simplest, it forms a creamy, tasty and nutritious base for meat, fish, poultry and vegetable dishes such as ragouts and stews, but it can also be left to cool and dry, enabling it to be sliced like bread and – if you want to give it a nice finishing touch – baked, grilled, or pan-fried. And it doesn’t stop there! Polenta can be used like flour in baking, and like breadcrumbs to coat chicken or fish. Or how about in place of porridge or cereal for a smooth and satisfying breakfast, topped with yoghurt or fruit? SUNSHINE IN A BAG Bringing a touch of the sunny Mediterranean to your table, polenta is a good source of fiber and protein that contains vitamins A, B3, B6, B9, E, and K. It also packs in minerals including essential amino acids, magnesium, and phosphorus.
