Our Own Organically Produced Sifted Cornflour 500gOrganically produced sifted cornflour which is ideal for baking Nutritional Information: Per 100g Energy 1510Kj / 359.5 Kcal, Protein 6.9g, Carbohydrate 76.9g (of which sugars 0.6g), Fat 3.9g (of which saturates 0.5g). Additional Information: Cornflour, also known as cornstarch, is the starch which has been extracted from maize (Indian corn). Used primarily as a thickening agent, among its qualities are that its easy to use, tasteless and contains no wheat or gluten. Unlike most other flours, cornflour blends to a smooth cream or slurry when combined with cold liquid. It therefore cuts the need for fats when used to make sauces and eliminates the hazard of lumps forming.
Because it is tasteless, it can be used in delicate sauces and recipes which
call for a thickening agent.
