What is Organic Potato Starch Powder?
Organic potato starch powder is a natural, plant-based carbohydrate extracted from certified organic potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Through a gentle washing and drying process, this pure starch retains its neutral flavor and exceptional thickening properties, making it a versatile ingredient for food, industrial, and cosmetic applications.
As a non-GMO, gluten-free, and grain-free alternative to corn or wheat starch, our USDA/EU-certified organic potato starch is ideal for allergen-sensitive diets (vegan, paleo, celiac-friendly) and clean-label formulations.

FAQs
Q: How does potato starch differ from corn starch?

Q: Can I use potato starch for frying?
A: Yes! It creates a crispy coating for fried foods and resists oil absorption.
Q: Is organic potato starch keto-friendly?
A: Yes, in moderation. It contains 20g carbs per 100g but has a lower glycemic impact than flour.
Q: Does it work in cold recipes?
