## Overview

Modernist Pantry Pure Ultra-tex 8 is a premium tapioca-based modified starch that offers superior thickening with high viscosity and a smooth, shiny texture. Certified Non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and OU Kosher, it excels in cold and acidic environments, making it ideal for modernist cooking, sauces, and fruit gels. Trusted by culinary pros for its flavorless profile and reliable texture stability.

## Description

ULTRA-TEX 8 is a high-performance cold water swelling modified food starch derived from tapioca. It exhibits many of the properties of a modified cook-up starch and possesses high viscosity and a very bland flavor profile with good mouth melt-away characteristics. ULTRA-TEX 8 provides high viscosity and a very smooth, short, and glossy texture in a range of instant food applications. It also imparts a rich creamy mouthfeel while possessing a very bland flavor profile. This product has moderate tolerance to heating and acidic conditions. The primary advantage when using this product is the excellent textural stability it possesses, even in cold temperature or refrigerated storage conditions.

Review: This is definitely an excellent product. I usually use a cornstarch slurry and this Ultra-tex 8 proves to be a flavorless and superior thickening agent. I've experimented with using it in creating fruit gels and savory sauces.
Review: I have been working to recreate a specific grocery store pie mix that is difficult to obtain inside the US. This was precisely the ingredient that I needed. The recommendations to mix using an immersion blender are not an exaggeration. I was briefly able to use a heavy gauge French whisk but it quickly got too thick go mix easily by hand. I will likely be ordering more!

Doesn’t disperse very well in liquids it cakes up and had to beat with whisk tremendously. Not worth the cost
