Corn Starch (Organic) - 400g
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.
Ingredients: Certified Organic Corn Starch
Origin: Made in India, packed in New Zealand
Organic Certification: BioGro Organic
Enjoy Me...
- In order to avoid any clumping, corn starch should first be mixed into a room temperature liquid and then brought to a full boil before cooling in order to allow its complete thickening action.
How Interesting...
- Corn starch is is often preferred to flour as a thickener because the resulting gel is transparent rather than opaque, is relatively flavorless, and provides roughly two times the thickening power.
- In contrast to Tapioca starch, Cornstarch should not be frozen as freezing will break down the gelatinized starch matrix and the mixture will become thin after thawing.
- Some of the many other uses for Cornstarch range from the manufacture of bioplastics, use as a stain and mildew remover, as a cure for skin irritations and fungus or as deodorant, to making finger paint and fixing squeaky floorboards.
