Corn-free, store-bought confectioner’s sugar!

 A few months ago, I was lamenting over not being able to find corn-free confectioner’s sugar since it is generally made with cornstarch as the non-clumping agent.  I was pretty well convinced it did not exist in store-bought form and resigned myself to only having the homemade option.  However, when browsing at Whole Foods the other day, I found some!  I’m not sure yet what exactly I’m going to make with it, but I have a few yummy ideas rolling around in my mind.  The only two ingredients in this 365 Organic Powdered Sugar are organic cane sugar and organic tapioca starch.  I couldn’t find it available online at Whole Foods website, but if you have one nearby, you can probably find it or have it ordered.  Let me know if you happen to come across any other corn-free brands!

    lol…. That’s funny, I bought some too…even though I have no idea what I’m going to use it for yet! I picture some cocoa icing….but not sure beyond that!

  4. Safeway O Organics is also corn free! (i think they use tapioca starch)

    Hey Kathleen – thank you for the link and for stopping by. I’m sorry for the delayed response! It doesn’t look like allergygrocer is in business anymore :( That’s too bad because from the little bit of information I came across, it seemed like it was a great site!
