FAQs
Q: How does it compare to cornstarch?
A: Higher gel strength, clearer texture, and better freeze-thaw stability.
Q: Is it suitable for keto diets?
A: Yes! Contains resistant starch (low digestible carbs) for gut health.
Q: Can it replace tapioca starch?
A: Yes – use 1:1 in recipes but reduce water slightly due to higher absorbency.
Q: MOQ for bulk orders?
A: 500kg for production batches; 25kg trial orders available.
