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....

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
