Potato Starch Potato starch is a refined carbohydrate extracted from potatoes, consisting almost entirely of amylose and amylopectin glucose chains. When cooked (gelatinized), it is a high-glycemic refined starch with minimal fiber, protein, or micronutrients. In its raw, uncooked form it contains significant resistant starch and has a much lower glycemic impact.
Tapioca Starch Tapioca starch is a refined carbohydrate extracted from cassava root, consisting almost entirely of starch (predominantly amylopectin with a smaller amylose fraction) with minimal fiber or micronutrients. It is rapidly digested and has a high glycemic index.
