About Cornflour

Cornflour, also known as cornstarch, is a fine, powdery substance derived from the starchy endosperm of corn kernels. Commonly used in a variety of cuisines, it serves as a thickening agent for soups, sauces, gravies, and desserts. A key ingredient in many Asian and Western recipes, it is prized for its ability to create smooth, glossy textures in dishes. Cornflour is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. While it contains negligible amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins, it is primarily composed of carbohydrates, offering quick energy. However, due to its refined nature, cornflour lacks significant nutritional value and should be consumed in moderation. Its culinary versatility and role in gluten-free cooking make it a popular pantry staple around the world.
