So, what is نشا البطاطا?

Potato starch, or نشا البطاطا in Arabic, is a highly refined and versatile ingredient commonly used as a thickener or binder for various food products. It is extracted from the starchy potatoes by removing the fiber, protein, and other non-starchy components. This results in a fine white powder that dissolves easily in water and produces a clear, glossy texture when heated. Aside from its culinary applications, potato starch is also used in industries such as paper-making, textiles, and pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties. It is gluten-free and a great alternative for those with wheat allergies or gluten intolerance.
