Kudzu

What are the different types of kuzu starch? 

Hon-Kuzu starch: 

Made from 100% pure kuzu starch. Hon-kuzu starch is obtained by refining the starch extracted from the kuzu root, without adding any other ingredients. The kuzu root is dug up, cleaned, crushed (fibrous form), washed in fresh water and the starch is recovered in the form of a deposit, leaving the juice to accumulate. This process is repeated several times to eliminate impurities. Finally, only good quality starch is dried in the shade to obtain the final product. Honkuzu kuzu starch has an extremely smooth, soft texture and an attractive transparent finish.

Kuzu starch :

Mixed with other types of starch such as sweet potato and potato starch. The majority of kuzu starch available on the market is of this type. The production process is similar to that for Hon Kuzu starch, but mixing it with other types of starch reduces costs and makes it more accessible.
