stoneground cornmeal substitute
Just to clarify (because previous answer was incorrect): You do not use CORNMEAL to thicken with. You use CORNFLOUR.If you do not have cornmeal then you can substitute POLENTA, which is nothing more than a coarser-ground cornmeal, more or less. You can stick it in a blender or food processor to make it more finely-ground if you wish but it isn't necessary. It really depends on what you're using it for.
There is no gluten in any cornmeal, because gluten is in wheat, not corn.
no but if you do that will change the flavor

Cornmeal.
saltines
Isn't that what the cornmeal is for?
No, plain cornmeal is just ground corn, while cornbread mix contains flour leavening.
Polenta, it's an Italian dish! Cornbread, corn muffins, and cornmeal mush can also be made from ground corn. A non-food use of ground corn is to make ethanol, a biofuel commonly used to power automobiles in the western hemisphere.
Bread crumbs, cracker crumbs or crushed corn flakes.
Whole wheat flour. However, in some recipes the results will be much heavier.
Depends on what zucchini bake you're referring too. I substitute cornmeal all the time when I don't have breadcrumbs for a baked zucchini recipe.
