Potato Starch

Potato starch comes from breaking down the cell walls of the potato to make the resulting starch available in powder or liquid form as either modified or unmodified potato starch.

This process involves crushing and cooking the potatoes, and then washing out the starch grains that are released from the original potato matter.

Potato starch in particular is usually used by manufacturers as a thickener and is particularly useful in gluten-free and kosher food items.

However, the higher heat point associated with potato starch also means that it's useful for the making any food items that require a higher temperature.

And if you're looking for a thickener that won't alter the appearance of your soup, gravy, or other product you're manufacturing or packaging, potato starch will do the trick.

Unlike cornstarch or wheat flour, potato starch remains clear even as it alters the consistency of soups, stews, gravies, or any other product you're making.
