Kuzu Gluten-Free Starch Thickener

Clearspring Organic Kuzu (also known as Kudzu) is a superior quality starch thickener with a smooth texture and neutral flavour that is naturally extracted from the roots of one of Japan's most vigorous mountain plants. Its quality was commended in the 2012 Free From Awards.

Kuzu has been a valued ingredient in Japanese cuisine and confectionery for more than two thousand years. Its high content of complex starch molecules makes it a powerful thickening agent. While standard thickeners like cornflour can do much the same job, they tend to be highly processed and treated with chemical bleaches and extracting agents, whereas Clearspring pure organic kuzu is a completely natural gluten free starch.

Directions

A superior thickening agent with a delightfully smooth texture and no starchy or interfering taste. Use Kuzu to thicken soups and stews, both sweet and savoury sauces, glazes, desserts and pie fillings. Dissolve in cold water before adding to hot liquids.

Ideal thickener for soups and stews, sweet and savoury sauces, glazes and pie fillings, it is easy to use.
