Westpoint Flour, Potato

Description This granular potato flour is derived from sound, peeled, and trimmed Idaho potatoes. It is creamy-white with a natural potato flavour and odour. Potato flour is often confused with Potato Starch; Potato Flour is produced from the entire dehydrated potato whereas potato starch is produced from the starch only. Potato Flour is higher in nutritional value than starch. Plus it's rich in vitamins, minerals, protein, and fibre, making it a healthier, gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. This naturally gluten-free flour is the perfect addition to sweet or savoury baking or bread recipes. Potato flour's ability to absorb moisture is its strength: Add a small amount to yeast bread to help retain the freshness of the bread. Ingredients Potatoes.
