FAQs

Q: How does Organic Potato Starch differ from corn starch or tapioca starch in functionality?

A: Organic Potato Starch generally offers higher thickening power and forms a more transparent gel than corn starch. It also has a more neutral flavor. Compared to tapioca starch, potato starch often provides a smoother, less stringy texture and can tolerate slightly higher processing temperatures before losing viscosity.

Q: Is Organic Potato Starch suitable for use in cold preparations?

A: Organic Potato Starch typically requires heat to fully hydrate and achieve its maximum thickening potential. While it can absorb some water in cold preparations, it won’t form a thick gel until heated. For cold applications, modified starches or specific pre-gelatinized starches are often preferred.

Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?

A: Our Organic Potato Starch typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (below 75°F / 24°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed, airtight packaging. It is crucial to keep it sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking.

Q: Is your Organic Potato Starch non-GMO?

A: Yes, as a certified organic product, our Organic Potato Starch is inherently Non-GMO, as it is derived from organically cultivated potatoes grown without genetically modified organisms.

Q: Can Organic Potato Starch be used as a gluten-free flour alternative?

A: While Organic Potato Starch is an excellent gluten-free thickener and binder, it’s not a direct 1:1 substitute for wheat flour in baking. It needs to be combined with other gluten-free flours (e.g., rice flour, tapioca flour) and gums (e.g., xanthan gum) to replicate the structure and texture of gluten-containing baked goods.
