What it is

Potato starch and corn starch are both starches derived from plants. Potato starch comes from potatoes, while corn starch comes from the endosperm of corn kernels. Both are processed to extract and purify the starch granules.

Why it's used

These starches are commonly used as thickeners and stabilizers in food products. They help to improve texture, bind ingredients, and prevent separation in items like sauces, gravies, baked goods, and dairy products.

Health notes

Potato starch and corn starch 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 permitted for use in many food applications globally. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Neither potato starch nor corn starch are among the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
