ThickenThin not/Starch thickener is the perfect thickener for lowcarb or grain-free diets. It recreates the thick rich textures you want without adding calories, fat, or carbohydrates. It even gives you fiber . . . the soluble fiber that is so hard to get on a restricted diet. (Note: Expert Foods follows US nutrition label law which requires reporting 4 calories per gram from soluble fiber, even though the human body cannot digest it.)

Use in sauces, soups, gravies, salad dressings, and marinades.

ThickenThin not/Starch thickener is easy to use, dissolves directly in hot or cold liquids, and doesn't get lumpy on cooling, even with very thick liquids. In other words, it works for dishes that are served cold, or you can even easily reheat gravy or thick sauces without loss of quality. On the other hand, the fact that it doesn't actually solidify means that it isn't as good as cornstarch for pudding pies or other dishes where you need it to set up firm.

And, not/Starch has other uses. While using it to give made-from-cauliflower risotto the proper slightly soupy texture is logical, some of the other uses are quite different. For example, it can be used to make flatbreads or crackers out of nuts and/or seeds. And a customer used it to improve the texture and melt of her homemade churned ice creams (but it will NOT keep them soft -- nothing available currently does that adequately without adding carbs).

Use ThickenThin not/Starch thickener like cornstarch. However, a teaspoon thickens a bit more than one teaspoon of cornstarch, and one tablespoon of not/Starch thickens more like 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch.

May 29, 2007 Reviewer: Jennifer in Missouri I use this for gravies and sauces. I would use this product even if I wasn't low carbing. It has a much smoother texture than flour or corn starch. The best part is I don't have to deal with flour clumps! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. November 09, 2007 Reviewer: Carolyn in Tennessee I love this stuff. It has no flavor on its own, so it does not detract form the gravy. My hubby cannot tell the difference. So, a definite thumbs up for this one. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No October 31, 2009 Reviewer: Shawn in Virginia No lumps as long as you get it hot enough. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No October 08, 2009 Reviewer: A customer in New Jersey This product should be a kitchen staple. I've used this product while on a low-carb diet and while on a reg. diet. "0" carbs, "0" fuss and it thickens easily for use in soups, sauces, gravies, and so much more. It's so much simpler and guilt-free than making a roux with flour and fat, and slowly adding hot liquid to thicken sauce. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No July 14, 2009 Reviewer: Greory in Wisconsin Excellent product. Nothing else like it. Please keep stocking it. Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No See more reviews
