About Maicena
Maicena, commonly known as cornstarch, is a fine, powdery substance derived from the starchy endosperm of corn kernels. Originating in the Americas, it has become a staple in global cuisines, especially for thickening soups, sauces, and desserts like puddings. Maicena is naturally gluten-free and low in calories, making it a versatile option for those with dietary restrictions. While it provides no significant vitamins or minerals, it is an excellent energy source, primarily composed of carbohydrates. Its subtle taste and smooth texture make it ideal for delicate culinary applications. However, it is important to consume Maicena in moderation, as its lack of fiber and protein means it doesn't offer balanced nutrition on its own. Additionally, when used in recipes with added sugars or fats, its nutritional profile can shift toward less healthy options.
