About Potato water

Potato water is the starchy liquid left after boiling potatoes, often saved for its culinary and nutritional properties. Originating from traditional European and North American cooking, it served as a base for soups, gravies, and bread-making, providing extra richness and flavor. This liquid contains residual nutrients from the potatoes, including small amounts of vitamins B6 and C, potassium, and dietary fiber. Potato water is also naturally gluten-free. The starches in potato water act as a thickening agent, making it a popular substitute in various recipes. While it offers modest nutrient benefits, potato water is primarily a source of carbohydrates, and its caloric content depends on the concentration of starch left in the water. It is considered healthy when used in moderation but is not a significant source of nutrients on its own. Potato water embodies a sustainable approach to cooking by reducing food waste.
