wheat starch
Flour-derived binding powder
Wheat starch is a fine white powder extracted from wheat, used as a thickening agent in cooking and food processing.
It produces a smoother, more translucent result than flour and is often preferred for sauces, gravies, and Asian noodles.
Unlike wheat flour, pure wheat starch contains minimal gluten, though trace amounts may remain.
