Argo

Since the late 1800's, corn starch has been manufactured under the Argo® and Kingsford's® brand names by a predecessor. While Kingsford's is still available in some parts of the country, Argo has become the largest selling brand of corn starch in the U.S. A nearly flavorless thickener, Argo and Kingsford's corn starch allow the natural flavor of the food to come through and have been trusted names in corn starch for over a century.

Argo - Kingsfords

Argo® and Kingsford's® Corn Starch were traditionally sold for industrial use. Around the 1850's Thomas Kingsford developed a modification in the process of extracting the starch from the corn kernel, making it possible to produce a high-grade corn starch for food use. A naturally occurring carbohydrate found in corn kernels, corn starch can be used as a thickener for smooth gravies, sauces, glazes, soups, stews and casseroles. It is also a foolproof thickener in pies, puddings, custards and cake fillings. This naturally odorless, vegetable powder also has many uses as an inexpensive household and beauty aid and is also gluten-free, making it the perfect substitute in cooking and baking when flour and other glutinous starches must be avoided.
