Frequently Asked Questions

Is corn starch the same as corn flour in South Asian cooking? Yes — in South Asian and UK terminology, corn flour refers to the fine white starch (cornstarch), not the coarser yellow cornmeal used in American baking. Brown & Polson Corn Starch is the white, fine-textured starch variety.

Can I use it instead of arrowroot? Yes — cornstarch and arrowroot are interchangeable in most thickening applications. Cornstarch gives a slightly glossier finish to sauces.
