Eden Kuzu Root Starch, Organic, 3.5 Ounce

Rather expensive, but works well to soothe sore throat.

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!

For those of you who are gluten sensitive, this is a great alternative to flour or cornstarch for thickening gravies, etc.

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.

Bags too little and taste like wet clay. Don't buy

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.

My pregnant sister loved it lol. Had to air it out for 12 hours cause of a weird taste, but it was good!! (My sister doesn’t eat this daily but she wanted to try it cause of her pregnancy craving)

I tasted the bob mill brand cornstarch and don’t like it at all!!! So these tastes exactly like that but I ate them any way because I was craving chunks! The bag is super small and if you eat start CJ daily you’ll be finished with this bag in the matter of a few minutes to hours!! Definitely won’t be purchasing again due to the size.
