Product Description

100% Pure Corn Starch for Cooking and Baking

Make everyday cooking and baking easier with Argo Corn Starch 454g (16oz), a versatile pantry staple made from pure corn starch. With its nearly flavorless character, Argo Corn Starch thickens recipes while allowing the natural flavours of your food to remain at the forefront. Argo describes its corn starch as a trusted kitchen ingredient used by home cooks and chefs for more than a century.

Whether you are preparing a smooth sauce, rich gravy, clear soup, fruit filling or homemade dessert, Argo Corn Starch provides a convenient way to achieve the desired consistency.

Ideal for Sauces, Gravies and Soups

Argo Corn Starch is particularly useful when you want to thicken liquids without significantly changing their flavour. It can be used in sauces, gravies, soups, fruit sauces and other savoury or sweet preparations.

For best results, Argo recommends mixing the corn starch with a cold liquid first before adding it to hot liquids. This helps create a smooth mixture and reduces the likelihood of lumps. For maximum thickening and clarity, bring the corn-starch-thickened mixture to a full boil.

Excellent for Baking and Desserts

Corn starch is also a useful baking ingredient. Argo recommends it for recipes such as pies, puddings, custards and cake fillings. Its versatility makes it a useful addition to the pantry for both everyday cooking and more specialized baking projects.

Use it when preparing homemade desserts, fruit fillings, custards and other recipes where a smooth, thick consistency is required.

A Practical Flour Alternative

Argo Corn Starch is gluten-free, making it a useful alternative to wheat flour in recipes where corn starch is appropriate. Argo states that its corn starch has approximately twice the thickening power of flour and recommends using half the amount of corn starch when replacing flour specifically for thickening.

This makes the 454g pack particularly useful for households that regularly prepare sauces, gravies, desserts and baked recipes.

Versatile for Everyday Recipes

• Gravies and sauces
• Soups
• Stir-fry sauces
