When creating low-carb versions of your favorite dishes, you won't be happy unless the texture and thickness is close to what you expect.
For example, with gravy - do you want it watery or do you want a nice thick gravy? If you can't have starch what do you do for thickening? Some recipes use egg yolks or cream but these can be tricky to work with, and they change the flavors and mouthfeel of their dishes.
So you need a thickener that:
not/Starch thickener is incredibly reliable at thickening - it practically never fails! It's easier than using starch. Just dump it in and stir it in.
not/Starch works in hot or cold recipes. You don't have to dissolve it like you do with corn starch - corn starch and flour can get lumpy and stringy. not/Starch will stay fluid and smooth - even if they are stored in the fridge or freezer.
