Corn Starch

Corn starch is a fine, white powder extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels, widely used as a natural thickening agent in cooking and baking. It creates a smooth texture in sauces, soups, gravies, and desserts by absorbing moisture and increasing viscosity without adding flavor. Corn starch is also popular in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications for its absorbent properties.

Common Uses: Thickening sauces, soups, custards, baking, gluten-free recipes, and industrial uses.
