Question

A potato has starch. Does it prepare starch itself ? If not, where does this starch come from?

Answer 1

Answer:

Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed; the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder.
