What is Corn Gluten Meal and where does it come from?
Corn Gluten Meal comes from the corn stalk, and is a byproduct of corn starch. It is widely used as a food source for animals (chickens, horses, cattle, dogs, to name a few), and is also used as a sweetener (a Fortune 500 “beverage” company is one of the largest users of Corn Gluten Meal in their soda). The “meal” is very thin and powdery. Cockadoodle DOO corn gluten meal Super-Premium Organic Weed Control undergoes an additional “wet milling” process to make it into a spreader friendly product that is effective in coating the soil and encapsulating the weed seeds, thus preventing them from germinating.
