Wheat Starch

Wheat starch is a fine, white powder derived from wheat flour by removing the gluten proteins. It's virtually flavorless and odorless, making it a versatile ingredient in various culinary applications. This pure starch acts as a powerful thickening agent, providing a smooth, translucent texture to sauces, gravies, and desserts. Look for wheat starch in the baking aisle, perfect for improving the texture of gluten-free baked goods and creating a delicate crumb in cakes and cookies. Its ability to absorb moisture also makes it a helpful addition to doughs and batters where you want to create some structure.
