Description of Products for Trade Inquiry
Water-soluble potato starch is usually used to thicken food, but it is a hassle to prepare it every time you cook, and the surplus must be disposed of. Toromi Chan" is a solution to such a time-consuming and wasteful task. By sprinkling it over food without dissolving it in water and mixing it in, you can easily thicken food without lumps. It is also ideal for baby food preparation, as it can be thickened while adjusting the amount in small portions. It contains only Hokkaido horse bellflower starch and no allergens or chemical substances.
