So, what is крохмаль?

Крохмаль, also known as starch in English, is a common food ingredient derived from various sources such as corn, potatoes, and wheat. It is a white, tasteless, and odorless powder that is often used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and gravies. Additionally, it is utilized in the manufacturing of baked goods, noodles, and other processed foods to improve their texture and shelf life. Due to its ability to absorb water and create a gel-like consistency, крохмаль is a versatile ingredient that is widely used in the food industry. Furthermore, it is a gluten-free alternative to flour that is suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
