Posted - Jul 28 2014 : 4:56:35 PMI am gathering, drying and turning kudzu root into powder. This can be substituted for flour, cornstarch or arrowroot as a thickening agent (I have only used it in small quantities): 1 teaspoon kudzu powder = 3 teaspoons flour 1 1/2 teaspoon kudzu powder = 3 teaspoons arrowroot 4 1/2 teaspoons kudzu powder = 3 teaspoons cornstarch
Acidic liquids like lemon juice need 10-15% more powder than water or apple juice.
Kudzu Apple/Pear Juice can be used for cold symptoms: 1 cup apple or pear juice 1 1/2 teaspoons kudzu root powder Mix powder with 1/2 cup juice until barely simmering - add remainder of juice and stir until boiling. Turn heat down to low and stir 2-3 minutes. Makes 1 cup. If you're allergic to the leaves don't use the roots. Alice, Farmgirl #5933 City by birth - farm by choice.
