WHAT IS SWEET POTATO STARCH?

Sweet potato starch is a type of starch derived from sweet potatoes, which are root vegetables. Starch is a complex carbohydrate composed of glucose molecules and serves as an energy storage molecule in plants.

The sweet potatoes are typically washed, peeled, and grated or ground into a pulp to extract sweet potato starch. The pulp is then mixed with water, and the starch is separated from the other components of the sweet potato through a process called wet sieving. The starch is then collected, dried, and processed into a fine powder.

Sweet potato starch is commonly used as a thickening agent in various food products, such as soups, sauces, and desserts. It has a neutral flavor and a high starch content, which makes it a suitable alternative to other starches like cornstarch or potato starch. Sweet potato starch is also gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

In addition to its culinary uses, sweet potato starch can also be used in industrial applications, such as in the production of adhesives, textiles, and paper. It is a versatile ingredient that offers various functional properties and nutritional benefits.
