little 'pellets' made from potato starch
Just checking in, rather late in the day, to say that I've found one brand's variety of these on sale in our local supermarket, and the packet says that they are made from fécule de pomme de terre (= potato starch)
I suppose this is probably just a substitute product for the 'real thing', but I thought the information just might be helpful to future users!

: Thanks for posting at all, Tony. Your added commentsare always give extra insight. I don't know whether this has anything to do with the translation I'm doing but at least it puts a new perspective on it.
