Starch is a tasteless and odorless powder. Starch is obtained from potatoes, corn grains, rice, wheat by chemical isolation from raw materials or grinding, fine grinding of grain germs. Its composition refers to pure carbohydrates. It has excellent viscosity and moisture-holding capacity. Starch is inexpensive, and its scope is quite wide. This product is used as a thickener and compactor in the manufacture of various food products (sausages, cheese products, kissels, sauces, creams, pastries, casseroles and other dishes).

The method of using starch is quite simple: it must be mixed with water and this consistency is added to jelly, sauce or other product while stirring.

Varieties of powder used in cooking:

- potato,

- corn,

- wheat,

- tapioca,

- rice,

- sago.

The types differ in their properties, for example, potato starch has a higher viscosity than corn starch. And when using potato jelly for making jelly, a very thick and transparent consistency is obtained, but if we replace corn jelly, we get quite liquid and opaque.

Therefore, most often for desserts and sauces, cooks prefer to use corn starch, because it makes pastries more tender. Our online store offers to buy potato and corn starch at a bargain price.
