I got the information about kudzu starch giving creamier results than corn starch right but had never known how it was made. We've all probably seen this before, but it makes me laugh every time anyway so here goes: http://www.locksley.com/kudzu.htm Hah! That seems to be the site missing from the link at the bottom of this page: http://www.yahoolavista.com/kudzu/ which has some spectacular photos of kudzu on the rampage! Some of the images are clickable and will take you to a gallery of other images on the topic e.g. Houses [immersed in kudzu!]. Here's a bit more stuff on culinary and medicinal uses: http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/free-herb-information/kudzu.html To scare yourself witless, have a squiz at the known compounds: http://sun.ars-grin.gov:8080/npgspub...duke/plantdisp. xsql?taxon=804 [ Or try http://tinyurl.com/qhx5d for that one.] or, if you prefer, their activities: http://sun.ars-grin.gov:8080/npgspub/xsql/duke/pl_act.xsql?taxon=804 Kudzu is a "declared" weed in at least some parts of Australia: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov. au/agriculture/noxweed/noxious-app? sq_content_src=aHR0cDovL3d3d2kuYWdyaWMubnN3Lmdvdi5 hdS9hcHBzL3ZpZXd3ZWV kLmh0bWw%253D&weed_id=76 Oh, gawd! Make that http://tinyurl.com/fp2kv According to that URL, kudzu "... must be fully and continuously suppressed and destroyed" in the named shires in NE NSW. (And I suspect the operative word here is "continuously". Cheers, Phred. -- LID |
