Tapioca starch

NATURAL STARCH FROM THE CASSAVA ROOT
Description

Product information "Tapioca starch"

Tapioca starch is obtained from the root tuber of the cassava plant, which is native to tropical countries. There it is also known as cassava or yuca and is consumed as a staple food, similar to potatoes here. There are numerous recipes for preparing cassava. In South America, it is peeled, then ground and left to soak. After pressing, the starchy tuber yields a flour that can be used in the same way as wheat flour, but is gluten-free. A by-product of the production of cassava flour is starch, which is called tapioca starch.

Tapioca starch, which has no flavour of its own, is particularly good for thickening clear soups and sauces. It gives them a velvety consistency. Tapioca starch is mainly used in Asian cuisine, for example to make the well-known kroepoek (crab bread). If the starch is pressed through coarse sieves and then hot-dried, tapioca pearls are obtained, also known for the preparation of bubble tea.

Perfekt!

Diese Neuheit habe ich gleich gekauft und bin begeistert! Ich will auf Zucker verzichten und habe daher in meinem Kuchenrezept das Kartoffelmehl 1:1 mit Tapiokastärke ersetzt. Die Stärke bindet fein und verlässlich ohne Beigeschmack.

Arrowroot starch
Arrowroot starch was originally extracted from the tropical arrowroot tuber from the rainforests of Brazil and has many uses. The South American Arawak people are even said to have used the starch flour to treat wounds caused by poisoned arrows. Today, the arrowroot species are native to the warm and humid tropics to subtropics of South and Central America, southern Mexico, the Caribbean islands and Central America to South America. The genus Maranta was listed by Carl von Linné in the 16th century in honour of the Italian botanist, physician and writer Bartolomeo Maranta (1500-1571). This is how the arrowroot got its name, the Maranta family. The snow-white, gluten-free Paleo flour, also known under the English name "arrowroot", is particularly popular in English and American cuisine due to its purity and high binding quality. Unlike tapioca starch, arrowroot starch has no flavour of its own. Arrowroot flour is particularly good at binding casseroles, soups, sauces as well as puddings, jellies, jams, groats, couvertures and glazes that must not be allowed to boil because, unlike corn or potato starch, it thickens at lower temperatures.To ensure that the arrowroot powder binds without lumps, it should first be mixed with a little cold water until smooth. Recommendation: Stir 2-3 tbsp. arrowroot flour into 2-3 tbsp. cold liquid. Then stir the mixture into the simmering liquid to be bound with a whisk. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is reached. Corn or potato starch often clouds the dishes after setting. Arrowroot starch, on the other hand, binds sauces, soups and jellies very clearly and leaves no taste of its own. Moreover, arrowroot flour binds about twice as strongly as wheat flour. The fine starch is also excellent as breadcrumbs. To give baked goods an airy structure, you can replace 10 percent of the flour with arrowroot flour. Important: Arrowroot starch should always be combined with other binding agents, such as oils and fats, so that the baked goods remain nice and moist. In vegan cooking, arrowroot flour also serves as an ideal egg substitute. 1-2 teaspoons of vegan vegetable cream or margarine mixed with 1-2 teaspoons of arrowroot flour until smooth is equivalent to about one medium-sized egg.

Organic guar gum 5000 highly viscous
Organic guar gum is a natural alternative to starch to thicken food. This natural product is 8 times more effective than conventional corn starch binders and produces a soft, gentle and homogeneous texture It is obtained from the seeds of the guar bean, which is grown mainly in northwestern India and western Pakistan. The almost odourless and tasteless vedickungsmittel is soluble in both cold and hot food and is therefore suitable for a variety of preparations. Guar gum is particularly suitable for: Soups Sauces Mayonnaise Mixed spices Pasta Desserts Cake glaze Dairy drinks Whipped cream Jam Preserves Ice cream production Similar to lactose products, guar gum in sauces and dressings ensures that solid components do not separate from liquid components. Guar gum prevents the formation of ice crystals during the production of ice cream. Products which are mixed with guar gum thicken and obtain a creamy consistency. The specification 5000 cps. describes the viscosity of the product. The higher the viscosity, the thicker the product becomes when mixed with water or liquid. There are two common VIskosities for guar gum: 3500 cps and 5000 cps. 5000 cps is called high viscosity.

Locust bean gum
The endosperm called part of the carob tree seed contains predominantly long-chain carbohydrates, which are characteristically composed of the simple sugars mannose and galactose. This seed is called ground locust bean gum. The long-chain compounds contained can bind very large quantities of water. While locust bean gum is completely soluble in hot water, its enormous swelling properties come into play in cold water: even small amounts of locust bean gum turn liquids into very stable gel-like substances that are hardly sensitive to heat, acids and salts Locust bean gum also significantly increases the gelling effect of other vegetable thickeners and is therefore often used in combination. Its swelling properties ensure, for example, that turbidity substances in lemonades are kept in suspension and prevent bread from becoming "old-fashioned". Locust bean gum is obtained by the action of heat from the seeds of the locust bean tree. It is generally approved for foodstuffs. The only exceptions are untreated foods, foods that the legislator does not want to be modified by additives, and dried foods that swell when eaten.
