Cargill's Cstarches have been developed to fulfill the versatile needs of modern food processes and cuisines. They offer major functional benefits and contribute to the overall quality of food and beverages.

Starch is the primary source of stored energy in cereal grains. Although the amount of starch contained in grains varies, it is generally between 60 and 75% of the weight of the grain and provides 70-80% of the calories consumed by humans worldwide. It occurs in nature as water-insoluble granules and is available as industrial raw material in unlimited quantities.
