Potato Flakes

Potato flakes are dehydrated potato products and are used more and more in many food products such as potato-based processed snacks, potato products and bakery

Full process flakes

Potato flakes produced with full process have a low free starch content and a pulpy consistency

Low leach flakes

Low leach flakes have a high amount of free starch and therefore a high water binding and sticky texture
