Did You Know?
While cornstarch is commonly associated with the brand Maizena, the original Maizena product created in 1842 was actually made from cassava starch. The name “Maizena” combines the Spanish “más” (more) and German “fein” (fine), highlighting its fine texture. Only in 1905 did the brand start producing cornstarch under the Maizena name. Today, it’s synonymous with cornstarch in Brazil.
