What it is

Natural potato starch is a carbohydrate extracted from potatoes. It is made by crushing potatoes, washing away the starch granules, and then drying them. This process results in a fine, white powder.

Manufacturers use potato starch as a thickener and binder in foods. It helps improve texture and stability in products like sauces, soups, and baked goods. It is also used in gluten-free products as a substitute for wheat flour.

Health notes

International bodies like JECFA have evaluated potato starch. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
