Cornstarch is a versatile ingredient derived from the endosperm of corn kernels, prized for its fine, powdery texture. Commonly used in American and Asian cuisines alike, it serves as a thickening agent in sauces, puddings, and soups, giving them a silky consistency. Although it’s gluten-free, adding cornstarch to your diet means you'll get mostly carbohydrates with minimal vitamins or minerals. While it can be a handy kitchen staple, moderation is key, as it lacks fiber and can impact blood sugar levels. Use cornstarch wisely, and enjoy its delightful thickening power!
