Argo Corn Starch, 35 oz, 6 Per Case

Argo Corn Starch is a 100% pure, flavorless thickener that has been a trusted kitchen staple for over a century. With twice the thickening power of flour, it lets you achieve the perfect consistency in sauces, gravies, puddings, pies, and more — using half the amount. Certified OU Kosher and gluten free, it’s an easy swap for flour and other glutinous starches in recipes that need to accommodate gluten-sensitive diners. Each 35 oz (993 g) unit comes packaged in a recyclable container with a tamper-proof seal, and the 6-per-case bulk pack is a smart buy for operations that go through corn starch steadily. Shelf life is 3 years when stored in a cool, dry place.
