White corn flour is more common than yellow flour because white corn grows in various weather conditions compared to yellow corn, which grows in a specific season. Yellow corn flour contains higher amounts of vitamin A and beta-carotene compared to white flour, because carotene is the pigment responsible for giving corn its yellow color.
