Clearspring Organic Kuzu is a superior quality starch with a smooth texture and neutral flavour that is naturally extracted from the roots of one of Japan's most vigorous mountain plants.

Ideal thickener for soups and stews, sweet and savoury sauces, glazes and pie fillings, it is easy to use:
- crush the chunks
- dissolve in a small amount of cold water
- add the mix to to your cooking liquid
- heat, stirring continuously until thick and translucent.

A half to one tablespoon of kuzu will thicken one cup of liquid.

Kuzu production
Clearspring's kuzu producer has been making kuzu for five generations, and still carefully follows the traditional 120-day process of washing, settling, filtering and drying the pure organic kuzu root starch that it supplies to Clearspring. Located in southern Kyushu, where the volcanic soils produce exceptionally vigorous kuzu plants, they are one of the few remaining producers of pure kuzu starch in Japan.


You can use it similarly to how you would use arrowroot.


Suitable for vegans.
