Because it only contains carbohydrates (no protein) cornstarch is a gluten free product. Due to its capacity to absorb moisture from condensation, cornstarch is often used as an anti-caking agent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRefill In-Store: $0.80\/oz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCornstarch is used for many culinary, household, and industrial purposes. In the kitchen, cornstarch is most often used as a thickening agent for sauces, glazes, soups, casseroles, pies, and other desserts. It is is often preferred to flour as a thickener because the resulting gel is transparent rather than opaque, is relatively flavorless, and provides roughly two times the thickening power. In order to avoid any clumping, corn starch should first be mixed into a room temperature liquid and then brought to a full boil before cooling in order to allow its complete thickening action.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the many other uses for Cornstarch range from the manufacture of bioplastics, use as a stain and mildew remover, as a cure for skin irritations and fungus or as deodorant, to making finger paint and fixing squeaky floorboards. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Organics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53053940924698,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/4076\/7258\/files\/IMG_0761.jpg?v=1791568980","url":"https:\/\/swimwellfish.com\/products\/organic-cornstarch-powder","provider":"SwimWell ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
