What it is
Corn starch is a carbohydrate derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a fine, white powder produced by grinding dried corn and separating the starch from the protein, fiber, and germ.
Why it's used
Corn starch is primarily used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, and puddings. It also acts as a binder in baked goods and can help prevent caking in powdered products.
Health notes
Corn starch is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and is digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated corn starch, and no specific safety concerns are associated with its typical use in foods.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
