Is cornstarch safe in a low sodium diet?

Cornstarch is generally considered safe in a low sodium diet. It is a starchy powder that is extracted from corn kernels and is composed mostly of carbohydrates, with negligible amounts of sodium. One tablespoon of cornstarch provides about 0.5 milligrams of sodium, which is a very low amount. Therefore, it can be safely consumed as a thickening agent or ingredient in various recipes without significantly contributing to the sodium content.
