Description

Premium Organic Corn Starch

Our organic corn starch is a fine, silky powder made from the starchy centre of corn kernels. It has an excellent thickening power and it’s a must-have for cooking, baking, and even DIY projects.

Corn starch is perfect for thickening sauces without adding wheat flour to your meal. Store-bought sauces and gravies are loaded with artificial, unhealthy ingredients and gluten-based thickeners. Our organic corn starch lets you create delicious, homemade versions with clean ingredients for your Sunday roast.

Because it has thickening and binding properties corn starch can be used in the place of eggs in vegan cooking. It can also be used in breads, cakes and pancakes for a gluten free alternative to traditional wheat based flours . Corn starch works well combined with other flours such as tigernut flouralmond flour or buckwheat flour.

Our organic corn starch is completely free of GMO corn and is not irradiated so makes a healthy alternative to non-organic corn starch. If you want to learn more about choosing organic read our blog on why organic is better.

Family Tip:

  1. Cornstarch makes a great veggie gravy.  Simply use vegetable stock, salt, pepper and corn flour to thicken.
  2. It combines well with other flours for a lighter texture and you will find it in lots of gluten free recipes.
  3. If you don’t use eggs for allergy or ethical reasons then try mixing 1 tbsp of corn starch with 3 tbsp of water.
  4. If you want to avoid chemicals you can make your own blusher out of corn starch! Mix together ¼ cup of corn starch with 1-3 teaspoons of hibiscus powder, add more if you like it pinker.
