Gluten-free wheat starch, also called codex wheat starch or deglutinized wheat starch, is the starch portion of the wheat grain that has undergone a "washing" process to remove the gluten proteins present in wheat. A careful manufacturing process ensures the gluten proteins have been removed to trace levels, and the final product is tested to make sure it meets or exceeds FDA standards for gluten-free foods.
Gluten-free wheat starch is a powerful ingredient in gluten-free baking, where it greatly enhances the textures of gluten-free baked goods when compared to other gluten-free flours. It can provide the same taste and texture properties of traditional baked goods, just without the gluten.
It is not a 1:1 substitute for traditional flour in recipes because it is only the starch, and the structure-building gluten proteins have been removed. However, it can be combined with other ingredients to create gluten-free baked goods that are much closer in texture and flavor to their counterparts made with traditional flour.
