What it is
Organic corn starch is a fine, white powder made from the endosperm of organic corn kernels. It is produced by grinding the corn and separating the starch from the protein and fiber. The starch is then washed and dried.
Why it's used
Corn starch is primarily used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, soups, and puddings. It can also be used as a binder in baked goods and as a stabilizer in dairy products. Its neutral flavor and ability to create a smooth texture make it a versatile ingredient.
Health notes
