What is starch?

Starch is the most common carbohydrate in the human diet, accounting for more than 50% of daily carbohydrate intake. Starch makes up 70% to 80% of all calories consumed by people around the world. Starch is extracted especially from cassava and potatoes, as well as cereals such as corn, rice, wheat, barley and oats.

Cornstarch, sometimes called cornmeal, is a carbohydrate extracted from corn endosperm. Because cornstarch is made from corn and contains only carbohydrates, it is gluten-free. Cornstarch is an excellent alternative to gluten-free thickeners in recipes.

Purpose:

Cornstarch has a neutral taste and smell, white color.

It is suitable for the menu of vegans and vegetarians, as well as for people who for some reason are on a diet that does not allow the consumption of ordinary wheat flour.

Added to stew, soup or sauce, it makes the dish thicker.

Cornstarch can also be used for fried dishes, making them more crunchy. As a breading, cornstarch will provide a perfect golden and crispy crust on fried chicken wings, for example.
