Yumis Kukuruzno Brasno Corn Flour, Serbian 500g (1.1lb)

Yumis Kukuruzno Brašno is a finely milled Serbian yellow corn flour ground from quality domestic maize — the essential ingredient for palenta, kačamak, cicvara, and proja, the cornmeal dishes that are the soul of Serbian mountain and village cooking. Yumis is a trusted Serbian food brand supplying the basic pantry staples of Serbian home cooking; corn flour arrived in the Balkans from the New World in the seventeenth century and was rapidly adopted in Serbia, Bosnia, and Montenegro as the grain of the mountain shepherd and the peasant hearth, eventually earning its place on the tables of every Serbian household as a source of comfort and tradition. In Serbia, corn dishes carry deep folk meaning — kačamak (polenta with cheese or cream) is the ceremonial first food at Slava gatherings in many rural regions, proja (cornbread) is the bread of hospitality, and cicvara (cornmeal cooked in butter or kajmak) is the rich, sustaining breakfast of the Serbian highlands that warms a winter morning. Use for palenta, kačamak, cicvara, or proja; also excellent as a gluten-conscious coating for fried fish or chicken, or stirred into batter for corn-flour pancakes and rustic flatbreads.
