What it is

Cornstarch is a fine, white powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a carbohydrate and is primarily composed of starch. To produce it, corn kernels are milled, and the starch is separated from the protein and fiber.

Why it's used

Cornstarch is widely 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 stabilizer in dairy products. Its neutral flavor and ability to create a smooth texture make it a versatile ingredient in many baked goods and desserts.

Health notes

Cornstarch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a carbohydrate, it provides energy. When consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet, it is not associated with adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starch and its derivatives. Evidence does not suggest negative health impacts from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Cornstarch is gluten-free.
