About Corn starch
Cornstarch is a fine, powdery substance derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. A staple in cooking and baking, it originated from maize, a crop native to Central America, and is widely used in cuisines worldwide as a thickening agent for soups, sauces, gravies, and desserts. Cornstarch is composed almost entirely of carbohydrates, making it calorie-dense but devoid of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. It provides quick energy but lacks significant nutritional value. While naturally gluten-free and suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, its refined nature means it offers limited health benefits and can contribute to blood sugar spikes when consumed in large quantities. Moderation is key, as overuse may result in excessive calorie intake without essential nutrients. Cornstarch is best enjoyed as part of balanced recipes rather than as a primary ingredient.
