Corn starch, wheat starch and rice starch
Native corn starch, also called maizena or maesita, as well as wheat starch and rice starch is obtained by grinding the grain and is widely used in the kitchen in the preparation of many desserts. The grains are ground into flour, soaked in water, then ground, filtered, centrifuged, dried and powdered.
Features
Starch, whether from corn, wheat or rice, can be used instead of flour to obtain a structured and well-thickened dough. Its use mainly takes place in the preparation of creams, mustards and puddings, but also soups and sauces, ice creams and to make leavened desserts more crumbly. Corn starch, unlike wheat starch, is a gluten-free product.

- thickener: in the preparation of sauces, soups, puddings, creams, hot chocolate, bechamel and much more.
