Gluten Free Cornbread Recipe
The Native Americans made cornbread long before the first Europeans settled in the Americas. The earliest cornbreads were called “pone”, from the Algonquin word “apan”, and were a simple mixture of cornmeal, salt, and water. Because the recipe calls for cornmeal instead of wheatflour, a gluten free cornbread recipe is, in some ways, a natural gluten-free food.
Corn is a staple crop in the United States and many parts of South America as well. Corn provides necessary calories for daily metabolism of the body and it is good for skin care, boosting the nervous system, digestion, and maintaining low cholesterol levels. Corn is rich in phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, iron and selenium. It also contains Vitamin B (Thiamin, Vitamin B6, Niacin, Riboflavin, Folate) and has traces of Vitamin A and Vitamin E.
