So, what is amidon de cartofi?
Amidon de cartofi, also known as potato starch, is a fine white powder derived from the root vegetable potato. It is commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in a wide variety of food products such as soups, sauces, and baked goods. Due to its neutral flavor and ability to create a clear and glossy finish, it is also used in the production of confectionery, such as jelly candies and marshmallows. Potato starch is a gluten-free and grain-free alternative to wheat flour, making it a popular ingredient for those with dietary restrictions. Its high resistance to heat makes it ideal for use in frozen foods and microwaveable meals.
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.
