We are researching the differences between starches and flours for our starch vs flour segment, potato was first up now it is cornflour (the starch) vs maize flour. The first thing to clarify here is that the naming conventions for corn starches and flours differ markedly between the UK, US and Australia. Cornflour in Australia and the UK is the same as cornstarch in the US. Also in Australia we have cornflour made from wheat so make sure youa are buying the corn version. What we in Australia call maize flour is the same as the USâs cornflour or more commonly used, cornmeal.
