Products in Color Additives & Decoratives: Thickener

Emperor’s Kitchen Traditional Kuzu is a culinary superfood. Kuzu is traditionally used in Japan and China as a culinary and confectionery thickening starch as well as a valued medicinal remedy. Kuzu’s mild flavor makes it the perfect thickening agent for sauces, gravy, glazes, soups, stews and even cake icings and pudding. You can also use kudzu as a coating for frying your favorite vegetables, fish, tofu or tempeh. In their book, Culinary Treasures of Japan, John and Jan Belleme share a host of natural medicinal remedies from allergies, bronchial asthma and circulatory system issues to migraine headaches and high blood pressure.
