Description
Kuzu is the thickener Japanese cooks reach for when cornflour would be too dull and gelatine will not do. It is the dried root of the kuzu vine, Pueraria lobata, and nothing else, sold as chalky white lumps in a 100 g pack that you crush and dissolve in cold water before use. It thickens to a clear, glossy, slightly silky finish rather than a cloudy one, which is why it goes into clear sauces, glazes, dashi based soups, kuzu puddings and the thin translucent gravies poured over vegetables and tofu.
Product Strengths
- Thickens sauces, gravies, soups, dressings and desserts to a clear, glossy finish.
- One ingredient: organic kuzu root, Pueraria lobata. It is not a starch blend.
- Sets soft translucent puddings and jellies, so it doubles as a dessert ingredient.
- Dissolves in cold water and turns clear as it heats, so you can see when it is done.
- 100 g pack, 10 serves of 10 g.
- Made in Japan.
- The brand badges it gluten free, and it is vegan.
Suitable For / Not Suitable For
Suitable for: Thickening sauces, gravies, soups and dressings, and making soft set puddings. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free cooking.
Not suitable for: Anyone with an allergy to the listed ingredients; anyone avoiding starches or thickeners
Ingredients
- Organic kuzu root (100%), Pueraria lobata
Nutrition Information

| Sodium | 2 mg | 18 mg |
Carbohydrate is stated as available carbohydrate and excludes dietary fibre.
Suggested Use
Crush the lumps to a powder, then dissolve them in cold water before anything goes near the heat, because kuzu added straight to a hot pan will go lumpy. Stir the slurry into the sauce, soup or dessert over low heat and keep stirring: it will look cloudy at first and then turn clear and glossy, which is the sign it has thickened. Use it for clear sauces and gravies, for a glaze over vegetables or tofu, to thicken a soup or a dressing, and for soft set puddings sweetened with rice malt or honey. Follow the quantities on the pack, since the kuzu to liquid ratio decides how thick the result is.
