Certified organic wild mountain kuzu root, hand-cut, crushed, rinsed, soaked, repeatedly washed and filtered in cold mountain spring water into a thick paste, and dried for 90 days. A strengthening, healthy starch for thickening sauces, gravies, soups, desserts, and more. A macrobiotic staple. Always dissolve it in a cold liquid before adding it to anything hot. Stir constantly when heating until the milky white becomes clear. Fat and sodium free.Organic EDENKuzu Root Starch is a versatile thickener that dissolves quickly in any cold liquid and has no perceptible taste. It is very low in calories and contains no fat. Kuzu binds more strongly than arrowroot. Unlike corn and potato starches (industrially processed) EDENKuzu is handcrafted, natural, and uniquely nourishing.Organically certified, wild roots are hand harvested from December to March when the sap gathers in the root, carried down from the mountains on backpacks and cleaned. Each root is hand-cut into chunks that are crushed into fibers, soaked and rinsed, creating a thick paste. The paste is repeatedly washed and filtered in cold mountain spring water until it becomes a pure white starch. The kuzu starch is then allowed to dry naturally for 90 days, crushed into small chunks and packed.
