Organic Corn Starch (Gluten Free, Bulk) - 1kg, 3kg, 10kg, 25kg

Made from dried organic corn, this binding agent is gluten-free and perfect for any recipe that calls for thickening. Use as a base for creamy puddings or to improve the consistency of soups and sauces.

Because cornstarch absorbs moisture, it is critical to keep it in an air-tight container where it will not be exposed to ambient humidity. Store in a sealed container and in a cool, dry place. When stored properly, cornstarch will last indefinitely.

NOTE: Corn Flour & Corn Starch are often used interchangeably, and can be a source of confusion.  However, cornstarch and corn flour play very different roles in baking... 

Cornstarch is obtained by extracting the starch from corn grain, specifically from the endosperm of the kernel. It is almost 100% starch, without any fibre, protein, fat or other components. It’s a very very fine white powder that’s chalky in appearance and that ’squeaks’ when you rub it between your fingers. Cornstarch is often used as a thickening agent to thicken sauces and custards.

Corn flour is obtained by grinding entire dried corn kernels into a fine powder. It’s basically very finely ground corn meal. In addition to the starch, it also contains fibre, protein and a small amount of fat. It is a ‘protein’ gluten free flour &  adds flavour and structure to gluten free bakes – although the amount of structure it provides is pretty negligible compared to that achieved by “regular” wheat flour. It can be substituted with an equal weight of light buckwheat flour, sorghum flour,  or oat flour (the latter only if you’re not sensitive to oats).
