Description
Potato starch is a fine, white powder obtained from potatoes through a detailed process. This involves crushing the potatoes to release their starch grains, which are washed and dried to produce the powder.
In contrast to potato flour, which includes whole dried potatoes, potato starch is solely the extracted starch, containing very little protein or fat. This starch is an effective thickening agent in various culinary uses, notably for giving sauces a transparent, glossy look. It also has a high binding strength, enhancing baked goods’ texture and moisture retention.
Our potato starch is produced through a careful procedure that crushes potatoes to extract pure starch grains, subsequently drying to create a fine, white powder. This method ensures our product’s high purity, making it suitable for diverse applications. Its neutral flavour, significant viscosity, and outstanding freeze-thaw stability position it as an excellent thickening agent, preferred for gluten-free cooking and various industrial uses.
