Potato Starch
Potato Starch is a finely processed starch extracted from potatoes and used as a thickener or binding agent in many cuisines, particularly in baking, sauces and gluten-free cooking. It is almost pure carbohydrate, providing about 88.5g of carbs per 100g and very little protein, fiber or fat. Nutritionally, potato starch is a concentrated source of rapidly digestible starch with minimal vitamins and minerals, so it contributes energy without much satiety or micronutrient benefit. From a health perspective, it behaves like a refined starch—useful in recipes but best used sparingly or swapped for less-processed potato products when you want more fiber and nutrients.
