Corn Yellow Dent Organic, SuperPail

Our yellow dent corn is certified organic, triple-cleaned and perfect for baking & cooking purposes, including grinding for cornmeal or corn flour, or making hominy or masa.

Our organic yellow dent corn is certified organic and non-GMO, and comes in six-gallon buckets (or pails... another word for the same container), containing 38 lbs. net weight. When you store yellow dent corn at home, it needs to be protected in a couple of ways. First, it needs to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to it before you do. Weevils and rodents, for example. You also need to protect your bulk corn from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our organic corn comes in provide full protection against these storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids, Mylar liners, and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket, because air consists almost entirely of oxygen and nitrogen. (The oxygen absorber packets themselves are completely food-safe, being made of powdered iron and salt, which are kept separate from the product itself.) Our buckets safely lock out pests, and biological processes are put "on hold" in the Mylar protected, oxygen-free nitrogen atmosphere, so your bulk corn enjoys complete peace and quiet until you want to use it.

In whole-grain foods, the plant's cellular walls protect nutrients from oxidation. The process of oxidation begins to occur as soon as grain is ground, exposing the cell's contents to oxygen in the air. Flour that is several days (or more) old, has been exposed to oxygen that inevitably diminishes its nutritional value. The way to get full nutrition from whole grain foods is to mill them when you need them, right in your kitchen. Modern high-speed grain mills make it fast and easy to enjoy the freshest, best tasting and most nutritious food imaginable!

All of our bulk corn is triple-cleaned to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Corn that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole grain products are natural (non-GMO). Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

Our organic yellow dent corn has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

Yellow dent corn, also called field corn or dented corn, (zea mays indurata) is the type of maize that most cornmeal, corn chips and corn tortillas are made with. This corn gets its name from the depression (or “dent”) that appears at the crown of the mature corn kernel. Dent corn is the most commonly grown and consumed type of corn in North America, and some varieties are used as livestock feed or to produce ethanol and cooking oils. Dent corn is starchy and high in omega-6 and antioxidants.

The main difference between yellow corn and white corn is that yellow corn contains carotene. Carotene is a substance that gives plants a yellow or orange color. Carotenoids are a great source of Vitamin A, an antioxidant which supports a strong immune system, as well as healthy bones, teeth, and soft tissue. Carotenoids also contains xanthophylls, which promote good eye health.

Fresh ears of yellow dent corn can be roasted and served with a savory butter and herbs for a tasty summer side dish. The sweet flavor of dent corn pairs well with chiles, berries, stone fruit, aromatic spices, tomatoes, cumin and pepper. Dent corn is naturally gluten-free.

When ground, dent corn is excellent in cornbread, hush puppies, tortillas and grits. Corn is usually ground to a coarser texture than wheat flour, and called cornmeal. Very fine cornmeal is referred to as corn flour, which can be used to thicken sauces, puddings and soups. Cornmeal or corn flour can be combined with wheat flours to soften the texture of baked goods. Freshly ground cornmeal should be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator or freezer to avoid rancidity.

will grind dent corn to any texture from cracked to fine corn flour. Since dent corn kernels are large, grind first with the milling stones opened widely to produce cracked grain, then run the cracked grain through the mill a second time, at a finer setting, for flour.

By soaking and then cooking yellow dent corn in a limewater solution, or other alkaline mixture, you can make your own nixtamal, or hominy. Nixtamalization loosens the hard, outer layer of the kernel, so it can easily be rinsed away. The process of soaking greatly increases the nutritional value of recipes made with corn, in part by breaking down the phytic acid, which prevents your body from properly absorbing nutrients. Nixtamilzation allows the nutrient niacin, which normally your body can’t absorb, to become free for assimilation. This process was used by the Mayans as far back as 1500 B.C.

Dried nixtamal can be ground into flour called masa harina, by using a stone burr mill or impact mill . Masa harina can be used to make corn dough (called masa) for tortillas, sopes, and a host of other traditional Latin American recipes. When water is mixed with raw corn flour it doesn’t create dough; but when water is mixed with masa harina, a beautiful corn dough develops. Masa harina is also used for atole, a warm, spiced drink commonly found in Mexico and Central and South America. Dried nixtamal can also be coarsely ground and made into grits.

To simplify the process of grinding nixtamal, it can be ground when it’s still wet by using a steel burr grinder, such as the Wonder Junior Deluxe+ grain mill w/Masa Auger.

Organic yellow dent corn can be a healthful addition to chicken feed, as it’s the easiest grain for chickens to digest. Chickens can consume the corn whole, or cracked. Some people like to ferment or sprout the grain for a couple days before feeding it to their chickens to provide a more nutritious diet.

What should come standard with grinder
By In Washington state on 1/16/2020 Verified Buyer

I have been using my grinder for almost 10 years and this is the auger that should have come standard with it. Works great! It keeps what your grinding moving forward instead of constantly slipping back into the hopper. The conical shape makes all the difference.

A must have: )
By James H. in ME on 11/11/2019 Verified Buyer

I ordered my wonder mill jr to grind grain and make nut butters, I did not get the more aggressive auger for Masa and after a few batches I wish i had. So off to the internet and pleasant hill online site. I order the auger and it was at my door in a few days. I hooked it up and make a batch of peanut butter it went so smooth I was done in 1/2 the time. cleanup was a breeze with the quick connect kit. Now for fun we took a larger can of mixed nuts and made a butter that leaves you wondering why no one sells such a thing. All that said the folks at Pleasant Hill Grain were great in communication and quality of products. My next purchase will be some einkorn berries try out. Then some Masa for tamales.
Thank you

A nice upgrade to an already great product.
By Gary R S. in CA on 12/18/2020 Verified Buyer

The auger works great and was easy to install. It made making nut butters very easy because the nuts flow through the system much better than the original auger. Makes a good tool a great tool.

Best for sprouted grain (only)
By Ben P. in NC on 3/25/2019 Verified Buyer

I have owned a Wondermill Junior for years. It does a decent job grinding dry grain so I decided to purchase the new masa auger for grinding nixtamalized corn. It was a disappointment. The process is hindered due to difficulty in feeding wet corn kernels from the hopper to the auger. You have to use a tool (wood stick) with a LOT of pressure to jam the kernels into the auger and even then the process is very, very slow. I found my twin auger juicer to be the ideal tool for grinding wet corn into masa dough. BUT, the Wondermill Junior + nut auger is the best device I have found for grinding wet, sprouted grain (it's very sticky, like adhesive).

Moderator : Ben, we would suggest that you try loosening the burrs a little bit and see if that doesn't make infeeding go a lot easier.
