About Corn husk powder

Corn Husk Powder is a culinary ingredient derived from dried and finely ground outer husks of corn. A staple in certain cuisines, especially traditional Mexican cooking, it is often used as a thickening agent or as a natural source of fiber in recipes. Its mild flavor allows it to blend seamlessly into soups, sauces, or baked goods. Rich in insoluble fiber, corn husk powder supports digestion and may aid in promoting gut health. It is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable option for individuals with dietary restrictions. However, it is low in calories and provides minimal protein, vitamins, and minerals, so it shouldn't be relied on as a primary nutritional source. Corn Husk Powder's sustainability and versatility make it an eco-friendly choice for enhancing texture and nutritional value in various dishes.
