It steps up as a superior alternative to traditional cornflour, offering unparalleled stability and a clean, neutral finish that never masks your primary components. It is the ultimate tool for effortless, high-precision thickening that saves time while elevating consistency.

How to use:
Standard Dosage: Use between 40g and 80g per kilogram or litre of liquid, depending on your desired thickness and viscosity.
Application Method: For a completely seamless, lump-free finish, gradually rain the powder into your cold or room-temperature liquid while whisking vigorously.
