What is Organic Potato Starch Powder?
Organic Potato Starch Powder is a certified organic, non-GMO starch extracted from sustainably grown potatoes through a gentle washing and drying process. Renowned for its high thickening power, neutral flavor, and gluten-free properties, it serves as a clean-label alternative to cornstarch or modified starches. With excellent water-binding capacity and heat stability, it enhances texture in soups, sauces, baked goods, and vegan recipes. Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Kosher, Halal, and Vegan-friendly, it meets demand for allergen-free and plant-based formulations in food, cosmetics, and industrial sectors.

FAQs
Q: Is potato starch keto-friendly?

Q: Can potato starch replace cornstarch?
A: Absolutely! Use 1:1 as a thickener with superior clarity and no aftertaste.
Q: Does potato starch work in cold recipes?
A: No—it requires heating to 60°C+ to activate thickening. For cold applications, pre-gelatinized starch is recommended.
Q: Is it safe for nut allergies?
A: Yes! Our facility is nut-free and allergen-certified.
