Lotus Potato Starch is made from the dried starch component of peeled potatoes. Potato starch tolerates higher temperatures than cornstarch, making it an excellent thickener for sauces, soups and stews. It adds moistness and a light fluffy texture to any baked goods and is an essential ingredient in gluten free baking. Lotus Potato Starch is sourced from Poland and packed in Australia. It comes in a 500gm re-sealable oxygen barrier bag to preserve freshness. Lotus Potato Starch is a useful alternative to wheat based flour. It is gluten free, dairy free, nut free, soy free, wheat free, non GMO and vegan.
