Corn starch: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers corn starch, a fine, white powder derived from the endosperm of maize (corn). It is commonly used as a thickening agent in cooking and baking, found in products such as cornflour. The ingredient list for these products typically shows only one ingredient: corn starch. Nutrition labels for pure corn starch will generally show zero sugar and zero salt, as these are not inherent components of the processed starch itself. Fibre content is also typically very low or zero. As corn starch is a refined carbohydrate, it is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals. Guidance from the NHS Eatwell Guide suggests that starchy carbohydrates should form the basis of meals, and that choosing wholegrain versions where possible can increase fibre intake. However, corn starch itself is not a whole grain product. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
