So, what is corns starch?
Corn starch is a fine, powdery flour that's extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels. This versatile ingredient is commonly used as a thickening agent in recipes for sauces, soups, and gravies. It is gluten-free, making it an ideal choice for those with gluten sensitivities. Corn starch has a neutral taste and a translucent appearance, allowing it to blend seamlessly into dishes without altering their flavors or colors. It's also a common ingredient in baking, where it can help to improve the texture of cakes and cookies by binding ingredients together and preventing them from becoming too dense or crumbly.
