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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Kuzu binds more strongly than arrowroot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Praised in Japanese poetry and legend as a bracing health food and ideal thickener for over one thousand years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Always dissolve it in a cold liquid before adding it to anything hot; Stir constantly when heating until the milky white becomes clear; Fat and sodium free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Sodium free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✅ Product Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 x 4.3 x 1 inches; 3.52 ounces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Guarantees\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ FREE standard shipping within the United States (3–6 business days)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 100% money-back guarantee for lost or damaged items\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Secure checkout with encrypted payment processing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Shipping via UPS, FedEx, and USPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Ships to lower 48 states only (no PO Boxes \/ APO \/ FPO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReturns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ 30-day hassle-free returns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Items must be unused and in original packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Full refund if item is not delivered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Guaranteed delivery within 6–7 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePayment Methods\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ Credit Cards, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amazon Pay, Meta Pay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomer Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e✅ Questions?
