Features of Purchase and Storage
Potato flour is often mistakenly called starch, which is not true. These products differ in production technology, properties and scope.
Potato flour and starch are significantly different from each other, but on the contrary, some manufacturers often interchange these concepts, so when choosing flour, you need to carefully study the composition of the product.
Potatoes are always indicated on the package with flour as the first and main component, and extract or molasses on the package with starch. Most often, potatoes are the only component of the flour, although some unscrupulous manufacturers add preservatives to increase the product’s shelf life and reduce the price. After purchase, potato flour should be stored in a well-closed container and placed in a cool and dry place, as the product is very sensitive to moisture. If it is stored improperly in rooms with high humidity, lumps appear in the flour, insects can appear and it will become unsuitable for use.
After opening the factory packaging, the product is recommended to be consumed within six months. This is due to the fact that gradually the tasty properties of potato flour decrease, and it loses its original characteristics.
