So, what is amido di mais?
Amido di mais is the Italian name for cornstarch, a fine white powder extracted from corn kernels. It is a common thickening agent used in both sweet and savory dishes, such as sauces, soups, custards, and puddings. Cornstarch is gluten-free and has a neutral flavor, which makes it an ideal ingredient for thickening delicate sauces and creamy desserts. It is also used as a coating for fried foods and can be mixed with flour to produce a crispy texture. Cornstarch is a versatile ingredient that adds smoothness and body to a wide range of culinary creations.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
