Kuzu Organic 100 g

Information of Kuzu Organic 100 g

This healthy food comes from the island of Kyushu, specifically from the Kagoshima prefecture, where it has been cultivated for more than 100 years. Today, 90% of Japanese kuzu is produced in this area. Mimasa's organic kuzu is prepared from roots between 5 and 10 years old and weighing about 10kg, ideal characteristics for the best quality production.

It is important to ensure the purity of kuzu compared to modern imitations based on arrowroot, sweet potato or corn flour, which are cheaper, but do not produce the effects of the genuine product. Our Mimasa organic kuzu is of high quality and firm texture. Furthermore, its purity and intense white color are exclusive to our organic kuzu, the result of the quality of the root and the traditional techniques used to make it.

Preparation of kuzu
The preparation of today's kuzu has hardly changed for centuries. The roots, which can reach up to two meters in length sunk into the ground, are collected during the winter. Once the kuzu roots are collected, they are ground and then washed with cold water several times to clean them of impurities until the water runs clear. Finally, you have to let the kuzu rest for a month and a half.

In summary, its preparation consists of isolating the starches, eliminating fiber and impurities, and finally drying it in the open air.

Healthy applications of organic kuzu
Kuzu decoction has traditionally been used to promote perspiration and relieve fever when you have a cold or flu. Children have a yang nature, so the neutral character of kuzu is very suitable.

This healthy food draws excess water from the intestines and lubricates them. Also, it promotes a good level of intestinal flora, improves the symptoms of diarrhea and constipation, and restores the strength of the intestine so that it recovers peristaltic movements. For this reason, it is especially indicated for constipation of the dilated intestine due to excess coffee, sugar, artificial drinks and fruit.

Kuzu provides great relief in cases of gastroenteritis or when the stomach does not tolerate any liquid or solid. In cases of stomach ulcer, the gelatinous layer protects the walls of the stomach and helps the ulcer heal after a few weeks.

Relaxing power of organic kuzu
In Japan, kuzu is used as a muscle relaxant and blood circulation stimulant, thus relieving muscle tension. This seasoning contains isoflavonoids, so it helps with problems related to cerebral blood vessels such as headache, eye strain, ringing in the ears, irritation, insomnia, etc. Furthermore, its consumption contributes to the stabilization of the vegetative nervous system. Kuzu is also effective in reducing seizures and spasms in children and rigidity in the elderly, since it relaxes the parasympathetic nervous system.

The isoflavones in kuzu relax the tension in the blood vessels, which consequently reduces blood pressure. Also, it is effective in preventing heart attacks, by relaxing the loop artery, on the one hand, and activating blood circulation, on the other. According to a study by the Proceeds of the National Academy of Science published in 1993, kuzu extract is a natural alternative in the treatment of addiction to alcohol and tobacco, stopping the consumption of both.

FORM OF CONSUMPTION
Mimasa kuzu is prepared by diluting two teaspoons in a glass of cold water and then boiling it for about five minutes, until it acquires a gelatinous, colorless or pinkish and almost transparent consistency. Afterwards, it is seasoned with organic Tamari or organic Tamari-shoyu. In culinary preparations, it is used as a natural thickener due to its tasteless flavor. Thus, it can also be diluted in cold water and added during the last minutes of cooking soups, vegetables, stews, vegetable tarts or cakes (spreading it over their surface before putting it in the oven).

INGREDIENTS
Kuzu is the root of Pueraria Thumbergiana and Pueraria Hirsuta Matsum.
