What is Organic Potato Starch Powder?
Organic Potato Starch Powder is a pure, finely processed starch extracted from certified organic potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). Produced through a water-based, chemical-free method, it retains natural viscosity and cold-water solubility, making it a versatile ingredient for gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-sensitive applications.
Key Highlights

FAQs
Q: How does potato starch differ from corn starch?
A: Potato starch tolerates higher temperatures, creates a clearer gel, and is grain-free. Corn starch may impart a slight chalkiness.
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?
A: No—potato starch requires heat (≥60°C) to activate thickening. Use arrowroot for cold applications.
Q: Is potato starch safe for nut allergies?
A: Absolutely! It’s naturally free from nuts and processed in allergen-free facilities.
