What it is

Cornstarch is a powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a common ingredient used in cooking and baking. It is produced by grinding dried corn kernels and separating the starch from the protein and fiber.

Why it's used

Cornstarch is primarily used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, soups, and pie fillings. It can also be used as a binder in processed meats and as a dusting agent to prevent sticking. It is found in a wide variety of processed foods, including baked goods, candies, and dairy products.

Health notes
