About Cornstrach
Cornstarch, derived from the endosperm of corn kernels, is a fine, powdery substance often used in cooking and baking as a thickening agent for soups, sauces, and desserts. Originating in the United States in the mid-19th century, cornstarch has become a staple in kitchens worldwide thanks to its versatility. Nutritionally, cornstarch is primarily composed of carbohydrates, providing quick energy but lacking significant protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals. While it's naturally gluten-free and useful for those with gluten sensitivities, cornstarch is a refined product, meaning it offers little nutritional value beyond calories. If consumed in moderation, it can be a helpful cooking ingredient. However, excessive intake, especially in processed foods, may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes due to its high glycemic index. Cornstarch is best used sparingly as part of a balanced diet.
