Corn Starch, corn flour or maize starch is a fine, powdery starch that is made out of corn. The corn starch is actually made from the endosperm of the corn, which makes up most of the kernels that we eat when enjoying popcorn or corn on the cob. Corn starch, also sometimes called corn flour, is produced by grinding, washing and drying the endosperm of the corn until it reaches that fine, powdery state. Corn starch is gluten free.
