Potato starch is a versatile, gluten-free thickening agent derived from the tubers of the potato plant. This white, powdery substance is widely used in cooking and baking, particularly in European and Asian cuisines for recipes like soups, sauces, noodles, and baked goods. It contains nearly pure carbohydrates, with negligible fat, protein, or fiber, making it an energy-dense ingredient. While potato starch is easily digestible and can suit gluten-free diets, it lacks significant vitamins or minerals. However, its resistant starch content can promote gut health by supporting beneficial bacteria in the digestive system when raw. It's commonly used as a substitute for corn starch and provides a smooth consistency without altering flavors. For those managing blood sugar, caution is advised, as cooked potato starch may raise glucose levels more quickly than whole, unprocessed potatoes.
