So, what is fécule d mais?
Fécule de maïs, also known as cornstarch, is a fine white powder derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. This versatile ingredient is a common thickener in sauces, gravies, soups, and desserts, as it has twice the thickening power of flour. Cornstarch is also used as a binding agent in baking, a coating for fried foods, and as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. It has a neutral flavor and is easy to digest. Additionally, cornstarch can be used in homemade beauty products as a natural alternative to talcum powder. It's a staple in any well-stocked pantry!.
