Ultra Tex 8 Powder melts quickly and thickens ingredients without the application of heat yet retaining the colour and flavour of the liquid. It's a flavourless white powder that is a high performance, cold water swelling, modified tapioca starch. In the modernist kitchen, thickened liquids can then be dried in crisp transparent sheets. Ultra Tex 8 Powder is excellent for use with highly acidic liquids and creates dried sheets of incomparable thinness and crispness.
