While standard thickeners like cornflour can do much the same job, they tend to be highly processed and treated with chemical bleaches and extracting agents, whereas Clearspring pure organic kuzu is a completely natural gluten free starch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow To Use:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA superior thickening agent with a delightfully smooth texture and no starchy or interfering taste.
