So, what is modified corn flour?

Modified corn flour is a highly versatile food ingredient that is derived from corn starch. It has been treated with food-grade chemicals and enzymes to alter its texture and functionality, making it suitable for a wide range of culinary applications. This modified form of corn flour has a smooth, fine texture that enhances its ability to thicken and stabilize recipes, making it ideal for use in sauces, gravies, and other liquid-based dishes. It also has a longer shelf life than regular corn flour, making it a popular ingredient in processed foods. Modified corn flour is gluten-free and a good source of carbohydrates, making it a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking.
