What it is

Powdered corn starch and potato starch are both refined starches derived from the endosperm of corn kernels and the tubers of potatoes, respectively. They are processed by grinding the plant parts and separating the starch granules from other components like protein and fiber. The resulting fine white powders are then dried.

Why it's used

These starches are primarily used as thickeners and stabilizers in food products. They help to improve texture, provide body, and prevent ingredients from separating. They are commonly found in sauces, gravies, soups, baked goods, and dairy-based desserts.

Health notes

Corn starch and potato starch are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are sources of carbohydrates and are digested similarly to other starches. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated starches, and they are widely used globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Neither corn starch nor potato starch are derived from one of the 9 major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
