Potato Starch
Potato starch is a fine, white powder extracted from the tubers of the potato plant, a staple in many global cuisines. Originating from the Andean region of South America, it has become a widely used thickening agent in kitchens around the world. The flavor is neutral, allowing it to blend seamlessly into dishes without imparting any distinct taste. Its aroma is mild and unobtrusive. When cooked, potato starch creates a glossy, translucent finish, making it ideal for sauces, gravies, and soups. It thickens quickly and efficiently, even at lower temperatures, and can withstand prolonged cooking without breaking down. Its texture is powdery and smooth, and when used in gluten-free baking, it helps create a light and tender crumb.
