What’s organic cornstarch?
Organic Cornstarch, also referred to as Organic Maize Starch, is a versatile, gluten-free powder derived from certified organic non-GMO corn, our Organic Corn Starch and Waxy Corn Starch offer tailored functionality for clean-label formulations. While standard corn starch excels in thickening and binding, waxy corn starch (made from amylopectin-rich varieties) provides superior clarity, elasticity, and resistance to syneresis. Both are gluten-free, vegan, and compliant with global organic standards.

FAQs
Q: What’s the difference between corn starch and waxy corn starch?
A: Corn starch contains amylose and forms firm gels, while waxy corn starch (amylopectin-rich) resists gelling and excels in freeze-thaw stability.
Q: Is waxy corn starch suitable for gluten-free recipes?
A: Yes! Both starches are gluten-free and ideal for gluten-free baking.
Q: Can corn starch replace flour in sauces?
A: Yes—it thickens twice as effectively as flour and adds no flavor.
Q: Does waxy corn starch work in acidic foods?
A: Absolutely! It maintains stability in low-pH products like fruit fillings.
