What’s organic cornstarch?
Organic Cornstarch is a fine, white powder derived from the endosperm of organically grown corn kernels. It is a versatile ingredient widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications. Cornstarch acts as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and texture enhancer, making it a key ingredient in sauces, soups, gravies, puddings, and processed foods. Being organic, it is grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs, ensuring a clean and sustainable product.
Production Process:
- Harvesting: Organic corn is sourced from certified organic farms where no chemical pesticides or fertilizers are used.
- Extraction: The starch is extracted from the corn kernels through a wet milling process, which separates the starch from the germ and husk.
- Purification: The starch is then purified and refined to remove any remaining non-starch components.
- Drying: The final product is dried into a fine, white powder, ensuring it is easy to incorporate into various food and industrial applications.
