Potato Starch Condi 250g (Fécula de Batata)

Potato Starch Condi 250g (Fécula de Batata) is a versatile, gluten-free pantry essential from one of Portugal’s leading baking ingredient brands. It is prized by home bakers for its ability to create light, airy textures in traditional cakes and as a superior thickening agent for savory dishes.

Product Overview

• The Ingredient: A fine, bright white powder extracted from high-quality potatoes.
• Naturally Gluten-Free: An excellent alternative to wheat flour for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities.
• Superior Thickener: It has a higher thickening power than cornstarch and produces a clearer, more translucent finish in sauces and glazes.

Key Culinary Uses

1. Traditional Portuguese Baking: Essential for the famous Pão de Ló de Alfeizerão and other sponge cakes, where it provides a delicate, moist crumb that "melts in the mouth".
2. Velvety Sauces: Used to thicken stews, gravies, and fruit fillings without masking the original flavour of the dish.
3. Crispy Coatings: When used as a coating for fried fish or chicken, it creates a much crunchier and lighter crust than standard flour.
