Potato Starch Organic

Potato

The potato is a plant that stores energy in the form of starch in underground tubers. The starch the plant stores in stem tubers edible to humans, which are also called potatoes like the plant itself. The potato is native to South America.

History

The potato was brought to Europe from South America by Spanish explorers. But as farmers knew that the stems and fruit of the plant were not edible, they thought that the tubers would be too and it was only used as pig feed. It was not until 1727 that the potato was first recognised as a food in its own right in Friesland.

Since the 18th century, the potato has become one of the staple foods in many European countries. Potatoes are an important source of carbohydrates and they also contain vitamin B6, vitamin C and fiber.

Potato starch

Potato starch is starch extracted from the tuber of the potato. In the cells of potatoes are starch grains. To extract the starch the potatoes are crushed, grated (releasing starch grain), separated and dried into powder. Unlike cornstarch and wheat starch, potato starch contains little protein and fat.

Use

In the food industry, this starch is used in the Asian kitchen for binding noodles and sauces. It is also used in wine gums, nuts and chips and as a binder in bakery products. Potato starch gives a clear binding and does not change the colour of the liquid to be bound. At Naturaplaza you can buy organic potato starch. Would you like to buy a different starch? Look here.
