Density 52 · -41 vs Vegetables medianPotato flour scores 52 of 100, Fair band, ranking 53 of 60 in Vegetables, a category with a notably high median score of 93. Dietary fiber and potassium each reach 21% of the Daily Value, with magnesium at 15% and protein at 14% rounding out a dense, dehydrated form of potato.
Made by drying and grinding whole potatoes, this flour is used in small amounts as a thickener for gravies and soups or blended into gluten free baking, rather than eaten as a standalone food. A cup weighs 160 g, reflecting how concentrated it is compared with fresh potato, and at 357 calories per 100 g it carries far more energy density than the vegetable it comes from. Cassava, poi or raw hearts of palm all score higher within this Vegetables category.
