Cornflour and Cornstarch

For thickening soups, stews, and gravies, you can use flour instead of cornstarch.

i don't think eating it is healthy at all...and if you are eating it you should stop because it sounds harmful..i don't think it should be eatin alone..

Additional Information: Weight gain was one of the side effects listed along with headaches, dry skin, thrush-an oral infection, and many others. A link has been found between the cravings for unusual substances and a deficiency of iron and/or zinc and anemia. You need to make an appt with your Dr. if you are experiencing any strong urges to eat peculiar substances and be open and honest with them about it. If you have a deficiency and are anemic you will need treatment for them, but don't stop there, ask your Dr. to explore the root causes. Colon cancer and some other cancers have been found to have a link with these symptoms. That doesn't mean that everyone who experiences these cravings has cancer, but I recommed that you see your Dr. and investigate the medical issues involved. This is a serious health consideration and shouldn't be ignored or hidden.

Hi my name is Amy and i recently did research on which leavening additive/agent works the best and I had some very strange results. I tested the 3 most common agents (baking powder, instant yeast and self raising flour) and a thickening agent called corn starch. my results astounded me! corn starch worked the best!

Approximately none. Cornstarch comes from corn, not nuts.

it is ok as long as you rinse it off as soon as the bleeding is stopped.

No that wouldn't have anything to do with why you love it. If she ate if after she had you, and you seen her eat it and everything, then you probably just adjusted to it.

Probably night, but it may constipate you! Too much of anything, even a good thing, can be harmful to your body. Having a craving to eat large amounts of cornstarch is a condition called Amylophagia. Talk to your doctor about it, there are treatments for it.

I USED to!!! For years I've eaten corn starch; I saw my aunt do it when I was like 10 or 11. I started eating it here and there. But then it became an addiction all the way up to 24. I would buy a box every week. I've read that this is called PICA- a craving to eat clay, cigarrette butts, chalk, paint on the wall, laundry starch, corn starch, etc. Pica is also associated with Anemia, which I have. Talk to your doctor about....trust me....it'll get worse.

It sounds like you have a medical condition known as Pica. Pica is an appetite for non-nutritive substances (e.g., coal, soil, chalk, paper etc.) or an abnormal appetite for some things that may be considered foods, such as food ingredients (e.g., flour, raw potato, starch). See the link below for more information. There may be a particular substance that is in cornstarch that your body is craving for some reason, and there may be a solution to it other than eating cornstarch or a substitute. On further research I have discovered the exact term for your condition is Amylophagia. Please see the link below concerning this subject for more information.

For the most part there is no gluten in cornflour or corn flour - cornflour is milled maize (corn), also known as cornstarch in the US. Corn flour is ground maize (corn). Neither should contain gluten, however if they have not been exclusively processed (i.e. no other products are made on the production line), there may be small quantities of gluten in there. The best way to find out a brand of corn flour with no gluten in is to search on the internet and find one that advertises itself as gluten-free.

No, it won't work. potato starch is just shredded potato, so the potato would just dissapear in the water and the water would be sticky.

This is a very good question. In fact, I had to do a science project about rot. So I used cornstarch in water. It actually does rot after a week or two. I put some of this mixture in a bag and left it in a container for a couple of weeks. After a while it started to turn green and blue. Sure enough it was rot.

I did an experiment where we mixed corn starch and soil together and then grew a plant it it. It did grow very well after a couple of days of continous watering. I do not know how it would do though in just corn starch, because corn starch tends to absorb all the water and nutrients not leaving any for the plant

Starch (amylumin Latin, amylonin Hebrew and Greek) is a classic ingredient used in many foods. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, a major component of cereals and some vegetables. Commercial starch is produced from corn, wheat, rice, potato and tapioca. These crops have a very high starch content, which is physically separated from the plant in large manufacturing facilities dedicated to these products. The predominant source of food starch in North America is corn. Corn is ground and mixed with water, after which the starch is separated from the other components of the kernel (bran, protein, and germ) and dried in large systems designed specifically for starch. At this point, no Kashrus concerns are apparent, and starch was generally considered to be of little Kashrus concern. Recent industry trends, however, have compromised this assumption. First, companies have developed specialty spray-dried starch products. Spray drying is a process whereby a liquid is sprayed in a fine mist into a hot air chamber, causing the moisture in the spray to evaporate and leave a dried powder. The type of spray drier needed for this process is often not available in the starch plant, and such material is therefore shipped to companies that specialize in this type of processing. Unfortunately, these custom spray-drying companies process many products on the same equipment, including dairy and non-Kosher items, which would compromise the otherwise Kosher status of the starch. Second, a salvage business has developed in the starch industry. At times, shipments of starch may deteriorate or otherwise fall below the required specifications for use, usually because they had become wet. Salvage companies buy this distressed material, grind and sift it (or spray dry it) and sell it for food use. The re-grinding process involves significant heat, and the source of the starch is often unknown. For both of these reasons, the MK takes care to ensure that all starch bears a reliable Kosher certification. An even more interesting problem that was discovered involved potato starch. Peeling potatoes by hand is tedious work, and in large factories a process called steam pealingdoes this work. Potatoes are placed in a large pressure cooker, which is pressurized with steam. The steam forces itself under the potato peel, and when the pressure is suddenly released the peel pops off the potato. The concern noted was that the steam was also used to heat the animal fat used in the plant to fry French fries, the condensate from which returned to the boiler and was used to peel the potatoes. Such a system compromised the potato starch made from these potatoes, again pointing to the need for a reliable Kosher certification for the product.

What ever they could find that was edible.

No. cornflour 'hardens' the mixture so it will keep its shape, normal flour doesn't do that.

= Cornstarch Substitute = For 1 tablespoon cornstarch, substitute 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour;

OR

1 tablespoon potato flour or rice flour;

OR

4 teaspoons quick cooking tapioca;

OR

2 teaspoons arrowroot.

no because cornstarch is sweet and flour is sour. I believe you use about half the amount of cornstarch when subsituting for flour.

If you are going to be making Har Gau skins, then no; the texture will be different with cornflour and it will not be translucent.

Another name for tanf flour is wheat starch.

U can use flour and glue

Microwave it, nobcheese. Its magic, no other.
