What is "starch"?
Starch is a carbohydrate commonly found in various food ingredients, such as potatoes, rice, corn, and wheat. It serves as a crucial thickening agent, adding texture and body to dishes. When heated or cooked, starch molecules absorb liquid and undergo a process called gelatinization, resulting in a thickened consistency. Starch is often used in sauces, soups, and desserts to enhance their viscosity and create a smooth, pleasing mouthfeel. It plays a vital role in the culinary world, contributing to the overall taste, texture, and appearance of many dishes.
