kudzu and arrowroot

[Guest guest]

Dear Bee,

I did a search on both messages and at your site about kudzu and

arrowroot.

Message 3380 seems to indicate that arrowroot and kudzu are okay for

us to use as thickeners, but I wanted to check with you because that

message is from 2004, and may not pertain to candida diet people. I

know cornstarch is not acceptable.

Soooo, can we use arrowroot and kudzu as soup thickeners, at the rate

of 1 teaspoon per 1-2 cups broth?

Thanks--

Rhe

+++Hi Rhe. Arrowroot and kudzu are totally starch, so they should

not be used as thickening agents. Instead see this article for

alternate thickeners:
