Hi all! I had a few questions on the use of Kuzu Root Starch. I was at Eden Organics site and the search engine pulled it up as gluten-free. Does anyone what products its best used for in cooking and baking? Can it be subbed 1-for-1 in recipes calling for cornstarch or other starchs? Just what is Kuzu Root Starch? I thought I knew most of the flours then this one came out of the blue at me :lol: .

Hey I just bumped into that in the back of a Carol Fenster book. Here is what she says:

Kudzu(kuzu) Powder (1 1/2 tsp.)

Dissolve in cold water before using. Odorless, tasteless. Makes transparent, smooth sauces with soft consistency.

Uses:

Puddings, pie fillings and gelled preparations. May need to experiment to find exact amount to use.

She lists it under all the wheat substitutions for thickeners like cornstarch, rice flour, tapioca, etc.

I can send you a truckload if you want to try to dry it yourself. It is RAMPANT in this region. Some say you can even hear it growing....

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
