Corn starch and normal flour differ primarily in their composition and properties. Corn starch is derived from the endosperm of corn kernels and is primarily composed of carbohydrates, making it a pure starch with a fine texture and excellent thickening abilities. In contrast, normal flour, such as all-purpose flour, is made from wheat and contains proteins, including gluten, which gives it elasticity and structure in baked goods. This fundamental difference in composition leads to distinct uses in cooking and baking, with corn starch often used as a thickener and flour as a primary ingredient in bread and pastries.
