Description

Potato starch is a starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains. To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed so that the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. It can be used to replace cornstarch in most baking recipes. Potato starch powder tolerates higher temperatures than cornstarch, making it an excellent thickener for sauces, soups and stews. It adds moistness to baked goods and is an essential ingredient in gluten-free baking.
