Organic Corn Starch Organic Tapioca Starch

Organic corn starch and organic tapioca starch are both common food starches derived from plants. Corn starch is made from the endosperm of corn kernels, while tapioca starch comes from the root of the cassava plant. Both are processed to extract the starch, which is then dried and purified.

These starches are primarily used as thickeners and stabilizers in a wide variety of foods. They help to give sauces, gravies, puddings, and baked goods their desired texture and consistency. They are also used as binders and to improve mouthfeel in products like snack bars and cookies.

Both organic corn starch and organic tapioca starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are carbohydrates and provide energy. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches and their derivatives. At typical dietary levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
