What it is
Potato starch and tapioca starch are both starches derived from plants. Potato starch comes from potatoes, while tapioca starch is made from the cassava root. Both are processed to extract and purify the starch granules.
Why it's used
These starches are primarily used as thickeners and binders in food products. They help improve texture, stability, and mouthfeel. You can find them in items like sauces, baked goods, soups, and snack foods.
Health notes
Potato and tapioca starches are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of carbohydrates and are digested like other starches. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated starches, and they are widely used globally. No significant health concerns are associated with their consumption at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Neither potato starch nor tapioca starch are considered major allergens by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
