Organico Organic Gluten Free Quick Polenta 500g
£2.95
59p per 100gProduct information
Polenta is one of the most versatile but under-utilised staples in the modern kitchen. It is great value for money. Polenta is a gluten-free maize meal typical of the North of Italy and the mountainous regions of the Alps.
Ready in 3 to 5 minutes, our organic quick polenta expands rapidly when mixed with water and boiled.
It can be used straight from the pan ideally with cheese and seasoning, or it can be left to cool and solidify, then cut into triangles or thick chips.

Another split package
I've had quite a few damaged packages from ocado recently (multiple bags of stock also) and its getting a bit frustrating. I have no idea when it burst and as someone with allergies that makes me reluctant to salvage the leftover product. I've used this polenta before and it's pretty good but bit frustrated to keep getting split packaging on expensive products.
Useful alternative
Great alternative to mashed potato. Heaven for those of us who can't eat potato due to Nightshade allergies. Goes really well with gravy!
Good product but dodgy handling
Today's order included a 500g pack of Organico Quick Polenta. Its the polenta I much prefer. But this pack showered polenta everywhere as I took it out of the Ocado bag. A little polenta goes a long way on a kitchen floor. I suppose robots pick but don't notice? I've had a split bag of biona polenta too, so it must occur in handling, not manufacture
The closest I found to the real thing
Coming from a place where people eat polenta every day, it's been difficult to find a product that helps me get to that taste and consistency I expect polenta to have. This is doing the job for me.
Useful
Great gluten free ingredient..I used for orange polenta cake but now see it has many uses..bought buy one get one free..
great in pizza
I mainly use this in granular form to add to pizza flour. Gives a fab crunch to the base. I also use in place of breadcrumbs on chicken or fish and also to add crunch to roast potatoes. Its a fabulous versatile product I use weekly.
