So, what is vehnätärkkelys?
Vehnätärkkelys is a Finnish word that refers to wheat starch, a fine white powder that is extracted from wheat flour. It is a versatile ingredient commonly used in food manufacturing and cooking as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder. Due to its neutral taste and high viscosity, it is an excellent choice for creating smooth and creamy textures in sauces, gravies, soups, and custards. Vehnätärkkelys is also a gluten-free alternative to cornstarch and is a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking. Its ability to withstand high temperatures makes it ideal for creating crispy coatings on fried foods.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
