CLEARSPRING WHOLEFOODS Organic Kuzu Root Starch 125g (PACK OF 1)

Great. As it was expected.

I use this after making into a paste in my coffee and tea to prevent stomach ulcers from hurting. I also use it as Avery easy thickener in gravy, soup etc.

I bought this as a grain-free thickener for stews and curries. Corn starch is fine for gluten-free, but it's not GRAIN free -- so it's not ideal if you're doing Paleo. I'd never heard of Kuzu before, so this was somewhat experimental. It turned out to be a pretty good choice. On the plus side, it actually does thicken up sauces, and without altering the flavour (at least with strong dishes; haven't tried it with 'plainer' sauces). It requires a little more than the equivalent amount of corn starch, but it works. It comes in 'crystals' rather than a powder (see the attached pic), but these easily dissolve in water just the same. The only downside is the price. This is at least 5-7x more expensive than corn starch, and you'll need to use more. If getting this for the grain-free element, you're probably used to paying the 'Paleo tax' anyway, and this will last for a good few meals. But still -- a pretty hefty price for something as routine as thickening up a stew!

Excellent product and swift delivery. Kuzu is a brilliant ingredient for Oriental-style dishes when you want to make a clear glaze sauce from the juices at the bottom of the wok when you do a stir fry. As a macrobiotic lung tonic it's also medicine for healing colds before they fully take hold - a teaspoon in a cup with grated ginger, hot water and tamari soy sauce makes a savoury broth / tea to treat your colds. Better than echinacea or Vit C tablets. Always dissolve it in a little cold water first or it turns into lumpy gloop!

Very nice mood taste and very versatile

Does what it says. Remarkable stuff. We bought it to make vegetarian marshmallows. No success but it makes a great sweet stir fry thickener...

Supreme thickener, with no claggy after taste or lumps

Great

Consigliato dalla mia dietologa, ho scoperto questo prodotto utilissimo per tante cose. è disinfiammante, aiuta ad amalgamare i cibi ed è ottimo come regolatore dell'intestino. Non riesco più a farne senza. Con Amazon ho trovato il prezzo migliore e la spedizione più veloce.

Kuzu is hard to find & despite the high price, I was happy to receive it.

Sabor neutro y se deshace muy bien en agua fría y yo lo utilizo para síndrome de intestino irritable

We bought it for a school project, we tried something else due to the price tag but in the end we had to buy it & school project got full marks!

Love this product. Consistently high quality. Too expensive though.
