So, what is stärkelse?
Stärkelse is a German term for starch, which is a carbohydrate commonly found in foods like potatoes, corn, and wheat. It is a fine, white powder that is used in cooking and baking as a thickening agent or to create a smooth texture. Stärkelse is also used in the production of a variety of processed foods, such as snacks and cereals. It is a versatile ingredient that can add texture and structure to dishes, and is often used in gluten-free baking as a substitute for wheat flour. Stärkelse is a key component of many popular dishes around the world and is a staple ingredient in many kitchens.
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.
