What it is

Corn starch is a powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a carbohydrate and a common ingredient in many processed foods. It is produced by grinding dried corn kernels and separating the starch from the protein and fiber.

Why it's used

Corn starch is primarily used as a thickener in sauces, gravies, soups, and desserts. It can also be used as a binder in baked goods, a stabilizer in dairy products, and to prevent caking in powdered sugar. Its neutral flavor and ability to create a smooth texture make it a versatile ingredient.

Health notes

Corn starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides energy. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn starch and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
