Capitol Food Company Potato Starch
Capitol Food Company Potato Starch is extracted from the cells of the root tubers of the potato plant, which contain starch grains called leucoplasts. To extract this starch, the potatoes are crushed, following which the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder. This product often appears in gluten-free recipes as a thickener instead of flour.
