Our History
Maizena® Corn Starch has a long and storied history. First produced in 1884, Maizena quickly became known as America’s finest corn starch. The company was founded by George H. Kingsbaker, who sought to produce the purest and most versatile corn starch available at the time. Kingsbaker was passionate about innovation and quality, values that are still reflected in Maizena® Corn Starch today.
In the early 1900s, the company released its first cookbook, becoming a trusted culinary authority and household name across America. As food trends have come and gone, Maizena® has stood the test of time. For over 140 years, we’ve maintained an unwavering commitment to producing the highest quality corn starch and providing consumers with creative recipes and usage ideas.
Today, Maizena® is the #1 selling corn starch brand in America. Our distinctive orange packaging is recognized in households across the country as the mark of a superior product, passed down through generations of families who rely on Maizena® cornstarch for all their cooking and baking needs.
Our Production Process
Maizena® Corn Starch takes great pride in our proprietary production process. We start with the highest quality non-GMO corn, grown by trusted American farmers in the Midwest. Our corn is harvested at peak ripeness to ensure optimal starch content.
The corn kernels undergo a complex process of soaking, grinding, separating, purifying and drying to extract and isolate the most pure starch. High production standards and rigorous quality control testing give Maizena® its signature soft texture and consistency.
The result is a velvety smooth, talcum powder-fine starch that mixes and dissolves beautifully in recipes. Compared to other store-brand cornstarch, Maizena® goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional purity and performance.
