EdenKuzu Root Starch, Organic, 3.5 OunceUSDA Organic

I liked that the smell and taste was fresh. No factory or other type of strange taste. It’s a very small bag but worth the money due to the good quality.

I have been using kudzu starch for years. It makes a nice translucent, thick sauce. I also use it to thicken soups. You must add it to a bit of cold water to dissolve it before adding it to the sauce or soup (amounts/directions are on the package, but I wing it and once you dissolve it you can dissolve a bit more till you get the consistency that you desire-and not waste it, because it is expensive.) Even so, a little goes a long way. The sauces I make with it are silky and lovely. Also great for mushroom sauce, anything with garlic..very versatile.Also, generally it is not a powder, but expect the size of the chunks to vary from 3/8 inch to smaller and a bit of powder. It’s all good. And check out the health benefits, and compare to other starches such as arrowroot and cornstarch.

Rather expensive, but works well to soothe sore throat.

Decent quality, but the size/ quantity Is way way too small. I will not purchase again until they increase the size

I just tried Kuzu root as a thickener for the first time and was very impressed with how it thickened without making the dish either slimy or gluey.After dissolving it in water and adding it to the dish it did need to be simmered for a few minutes before it thickened it. There was no added flavor when putting it in a Thai curry. I did need to use three tablespoons of it in a curry for 4 people, so the cost worked out to be quite high.I taste tested some by itself and it does have an almost imperceptible bitterness but in a very delicate sauce and in large amounts perhaps it might be detectable?But if someone was allergic to corn and/or wheat and couldn’t use cornflour or wheat flour this would be an excellent replacement.I am unsure if I will buy again due to the high cost as I don’t have food intolerances, but always eager to try anything new and incorporate it into my culinary repertoire. I am glad I tried Kuzu and did prefer the way it thickened to cornflour, as it provided a silky smooth mouth-feel, so perhaps I will buy it again. I will use up the rest of the bag and then decide if I will keep it in stock. If you have allergies to corn or wheat then try this without hesitation!Highly recommended!

I love the crunchy taste of the starch works well in sauces too! Excellent thickener!

The bag was way to small for price, the thickening did the job as like cornstarch. Depending on cooking with, could last 2 months.**Pica Peeps**Way too small for cravings!!

It's great for cooking with. I bought it as a replacement for arrowroot and cornstarch snacks. It's not that good for snacking. Im going back to arrowroot which has that dry fresh crunch. Again, This is very good for cooking.
