Potato Starch – A Versatile Ingredient in the Kitchen
Potato starch is obtained from potato tubers through a careful process that separates the starch from the other parts of the potato. After harvesting, the tubers undergo washing, cleaning, drying, and sieving, resulting in pure starch. When mixed with water, it forms a transparent, sticky suspension, making it an incredibly useful ingredient in the kitchen.
Key Characteristics of Potato Starch
The starch has a snow-white color and is easily identifiable; when pressed in the hand, it makes a characteristic “crunching” sound.
Health Benefits
Potato starch positively affects the human body, soothing irritations and aiding in the treatment of digestive system disorders—it is often used in cases of poisoning. It is particularly valued by allergy sufferers, who use it as a soothing powder for skin irritations, as it effectively absorbs moisture.
Complex carbohydrates present in starch convert into glucose in the body, which is essential for proper bodily function. Potato starch provides a significant energy boost, allowing the body to feel full for a longer period.
Potato starch has a wide range of culinary applications. It is perfect for preparing homemade jelly, puddings, dumplings, and cakes, and serves as an excellent thickening agent for stews and sauces.
