So, what is fécule d?

Fécule d, also known as potato starch, is a fine white powder that is extracted from the tubers of potatoes. It is a gluten-free and grain-free ingredient, making it a popular choice for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Fécule d is often used as a thickener in sauces, soups, and gravies because it has a higher viscosity than other starches. It also has a neutral flavor, so it won't affect the taste of the dish. Additionally, fécule d can be used in baking to create a lighter, fluffier texture in cakes, cookies, and other treats.
