Cornstarch (aka corn flour) is a carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of corn via a process called wet milling. It is subsequently modified depending on its many different applications.
Qualities: Cornstarch is comprised of long chains of starch molecules which unravel and swell when heated in the presence of moisture and this swelling action (gelatinization) is what causes the thickening to occur. Because it only contains carbohydrates (no protein) cornstarch is a gluten free product. Due to its capacity to absorb moisture from condensation, cornstarch is often used as an anti-caking agent.
Common use: Cornstarch is used for many culinary, household, and industrial purposes. In the kitchen, cornstarch is most often used as a thickening agent for sauces, glazes, soups, casseroles, pies, and other desserts. It 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 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.
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.
Substitute: Arrowroot powder has similar qualities and can replace Cornstarch on a 1:1 ratio
Storage: 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.

I’m very satisfied with the products and the choice. Unfortunately there was a problem with the package : the bag of starch was pierced and all items were covered with it

Daria R. United StatesWho Knew?
Have purchased cornstarch throughout the years, yet who knew or paid attention to the textire? It had previously not crossed my mind. This however is the smoothest, creamiest cornstarch ever and it makes many of my dishes thicken well and quickly.

Joe M. United StatesHigh quality, fast delivery economical and reduced packaging
I use cornstarch often for sauces, gravies and other recipes so organic and non-GMO are a must. Locally I can only get it in small boxes that run out quickly. That's expensive and generates a lot of unnecessary waste from excess packaging. This is way more convenient and sustainable. The cornstarch itself is pure and of high-quality. Shipping was also very fast and reasonably priced. This was my first order with this company and I am very pleased with the quality and service. I will be buying this again and again.
