Water Chestnut Flour

Water Chestnut Flour is made from dried, ground water chestnuts. The nuts are boiled, peeled, dried then ground into flour.

The flour, which is actually a starch rather than a flour, is bright white fine powder.

It's primary use is as a thickener. It is also used in Asian recipes to make batters for deep-frying.

Water Chestnut Flour gives a light crust when used for dredging, and stays white as a coating even when fried.

It is very different from "real" chestnut flour, which is sweet.

Mix with water first before adding to hot liquid as a thickener. Cornstarch for thickening; wheat flour for dredging and coating.Low in fibre.

Store at room temperature in sealed container for 6 to 12 months.
