What You Should Know

Found in the baking or gluten-free aisle, this fine white powder is the pantry staple you pull out to thicken soups, make tapioca pudding, or give baked goods a chewy lift. It carries a practical, wholesome vibe—familiar from home cooking and nostalgic desserts—while delivering a glossy, elastic texture when cooked. Because it’s a single-ingredient milled starch, the processing is mechanical (drying and milling) rather than formulation with additives, hinting at a minimally processed culinary ingredient rather than an ultraprocessed product.
