About Maizena
Maizena, commonly known as cornstarch, is a fine, powdery starch derived from corn. Originating from Latin American cuisine, it has become a staple ingredient across the globe for thickening sauces, soups, and gravies or creating light, silky desserts. Completely gluten-free, Maizena serves as a valuable alternative for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Nutritionally, it is primarily composed of carbohydrates and provides minimal protein, fiber, vitamins, or minerals. This makes it a quick energy source but with limited nutritional density. While Maizena is generally low in fat, its refined nature means it should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. It plays a pivotal role in traditional recipes like atoles and puddings, showcasing its versatility in both sweet and savory dishes.
