POLENTA
POLENTA
(Milled from Wapsie Valley Open Pollinated Corn, c.1850)
We are sold out of polenta until our 2025 harvest (late fall) as deer ate our 2024 crop.
Weatherbury’s open pollinated Wapsie Valley Corn packs both a visual and a flavor punch. Milling at a low temperature maintains the nutrients & flavor of the grain.
Stone Ground Organic Open Pollinated Polenta — Coarsely ground, mainly yellow but with red flecks that make it visually interesting. The flavor is enhanced because it is stone ground from an open pollinated, non-GMO corn. Unlike hominy grits, our corn is not treated with lye.
Serve warm with butter and/or cheese. Or let it set up to use as polenta in another recipe.
2 lbs ($7.69)*; 5 lbs ($16.30)*
* 2 and 5 pound bags are packaged in re-sealable bags.
One pound equals approximately 3 cups.
Please note, while corn has no gluten, Weatherbury’s Polenta is processed in our mill, where we also process grains with gluten. While there is a vigorous cleanout between types of grain, some wheat flour could remain. Thus, it cannot be considered gluten free.
Learn more about Polenta on our main website including how to use (and substitute) it in your recipes along with its health benefits and history.
Storing Weatherbury Farm Products
Storing Weatherbury Farm Products
Weatherbury Flours are real food and insects find them tasty.
Although there are organic pesticides, we do not use them, either on the grains in the field or the products we mill. Therefore the flour, rolled products or berries should be stored in the refrigerator. If you will not be using immediately, keep in the freezer, especially in warm weather.
We have had reports from customers that even after two years they still work and taste great. We wouldn’t, however, recommend storing them that long.
Otherwise even if you store them in a tightly lidded bucket, you will open your bucket and find bugs slipping into what you thought was an impenetrable space. If you have been using organic flours, milled products & berries and there are no bugs, then an organic pesticide has been used.
Keep the beans in a cool, dark, dry place. Dry beans will, over time, take longer to cook (but they still have great flavor).
