I use cornflour in a lot of my cooking like gravies and some snacks. Just got a doubt na if its fine to keep using during pregnancy. Pls share if you know.
Cornflour is fine in small amounts when cooked well, but since I had PCOS, I tried to limit refined starches as they can spike insulin. If you are prone to insulin resistance, try using healthier thickeners like oats powder.
It is absolutely safe to use in moderation for thickening soups or gravies. Just make sure it is fully cooked and not raw. Avoid eating too much processed food to keep your digestion smooth.
Yes, it is safe, but it's mostly processed starch, so don't have it too often. Since I had thyroid issues, I was advised to focus more on whole grains. Make sure to keep up with your regular doctor visits and thyroid checks.
Yes, cornflour is safe in cooked foods like home-made soups, which is great because making soup at home is so cheap compared to ordering in. Just don't use it too much as it's just empty starch. Save your money for your upcoming hospital tests instead.
