Powdered Corn

Powdered corn is a dry, granular ingredient made from ground corn kernels. It is a common pantry staple, often used as a thickening agent or a base for other ingredients. The process typically involves milling dried corn to achieve a fine powder.

Powdered corn is frequently used in baking and cooking to add structure and absorb moisture. It can act as a thickener in sauces, gravies, and soups, and is also used in dry mixes for convenience. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile in a wide range of food products.

Powdered corn is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and some fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn and its derivatives, but specific evaluations for powdered corn may vary. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
