Starch is a very common condiment, which is very common in our life. Because of its many functions, it is used very frequently. Raw flour is also one of the seasonings often used in life. For most beginners, it is not clear about these powders, and it is often silly to distinguish between starch and raw flour.
Starch and raw flour have different functions. The main function of raw flour is to increase the fresh taste and viscosity of food. In addition to this function, corn starch can also play the role of gel when making cakes. In addition, there are some differences in cooking techniques between the two. Generally, raw flour can be directly mixed with water, and it is best to add some flour to starch when making cakes.
Raw flour can replace starch, but we should know that not all starch can be used as raw flour, depending on what material it is made of. Starch does not refer to a single powder, but generally refers to it. Common edible starches in our life are corn starch, sweet potato starch and potato starch. If it is generally used for thickening, raw flour can completely replace starch, which can increase the fresh and tender taste and viscosity of food. However, if you want to use it to make cakes, you can't use raw flour instead of sweet potato starch. The viscosity of sweet potato starch is difficult to grasp, and few people will use it to thicken sizing, but to make snacks.
