What it is
Organic cassava starch is a white, powdery carbohydrate extracted from the root of the cassava plant, a tropical shrub native to South America. The process involves washing, peeling, grating, and then separating the starch from the fibrous material. It is then dried to create a fine powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic cassava starch as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer in food products. Its neutral flavor and ability to withstand heat and acidic conditions make it versatile for use in sauces, gravies, baked goods, and gluten-free products.
Health notes
Organic cassava starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides energy. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects when consumed in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Cassava is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
