## Overview

Eden Organic Wild Kuzu Root Starch is a premium, gluten-free thickener sourced from hand-harvested wild kudzu roots. Celebrated in Japanese culture for over a millennium, this organic powder dissolves in cold liquids and thickens with heat to create silky smooth textures without any fat or sodium. Its superior binding power surpasses arrowroot, making it an ideal, natural choice for health-conscious culinary professionals seeking clean, sustainable ingredients.

## Description

Eden Organic Kuzu 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) Eden Kuzu 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. The kuzu Pueraia lobata plant is a prolific, tough, fibrous vine with heart-shaped leaves that was used as a food in China for more than 2,000 years, and praised in Japanese poetry and legend as a bracing health food and ideal thickener for over one thousand years. Its roots are among the largest in the world, ranging in length from three to seven feet and weighing between 200 to over 400 pounds. Traditionally the leaves, seeds, flowers and roots were used in making vegetable dishes, noodles, dumplings, beverages, desserts and pickles. The vines were used to weave baskets and in making clothing, fishing line, and paper.

Review: Silky smooth thickener - 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!

Perfect for thickening. Dissolves easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always have this on hand!
*by M***E on March 1, 2026*

I support Eden products. Their products are a step above the rest bc of their long held commitment to organic and natural products. A little of this goes a long way. The pieces will break up fairly easily if you do so before it gets wet. Kudzu is good for soothing digestive issues. I make up a couple of cups ahead of time(1T /cup liquid)& freeze it in ice cube trays. It can easily be thawed and used if my dogs have stomach upset or diarrhea. I usually use some type of broth. I mix it in with millet & sw potato congee for the dogs for a couple of days as needed. Indeed it makes a very smooth sauce as well.
