Wheat Starch 500g: a perfect natural thickener for your baked goods!

Wheat flour is one of the most commonly used ingredients in cooking, but not everyone knows that wheat starch is one of the most important natural thickeners. We at the shop have selected 500g of wheat starch from the manufacturer (brand) for you, a quality product that will allow you to experiment with new recipes.

Wheat starch contains an average of 9 to 12% water and over 90% carbohydrates, along with traces of protein and fat. It's a perfect energy source for our body, as it doesn't produce waste during the metabolization process. Furthermore, it's an excellent natural thickener: you can use it to thicken sauces, soups, gravies, desserts, ice cream, and compotes.

How to use wheat starch

To fully exploit its thickening properties, it must be dispersed in the solution (liquid) and heated until the mixture thickens. Then, let it rest in the refrigerator until completely cooled (during which time it will thicken further). The percentage used varies between 5 and 12%: between 5 and 7% gives a mayonnaise-like texture, while 7 to 12% gives a rather firm texture, similar to panna cotta.

Furthermore, when used at around 10% (up to 100%) in desserts, combined with wheat flour, it significantly lowers the flour's W, improving crumbliness. For a more in-depth look at the intrinsic properties of thickeners, click here.
