Organic polenta is a healthful food choice with several nutritional benefits as it contains both protein and fiber to help a person feel full. Fiber is recommended to keep the digestive system functioning properly, to feed healthy gut bacteria.

Polenta is milled corn, which is a good source of carotenoids. Carotenoids are thought to decrease the risk of certain diseases, such as some types of eye conditions and some cancers. It is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates.The complex carbohydrates in polenta are broken down slowly, which means they take longer to digest. This slow release can keep blood sugar levels steady.

Nutritious, whole foods that are low in calories, such as polenta, can be a good choice for:

• people looking to lose or maintain weight
• gluten-free dishes

From making smooth porridge topped with stewed fruit or savory toppings, to cakes, crispy air-fried bites, pizza crusts, lasagna, crostini, shepherd’s pie, and so much more, polenta does it all with style.
