The traditional Thai starch behind countless beloved desserts. Made from 100% pure mung bean, Pine Brand's Salim Starch is the authentic ingredient that gives Thai sweets their signature chewy-yet-silky bite and beautiful translucent finish. It's the same flour generations of Thai cooks have trusted to make iconic homemade treats with that just-right texture.

Known as paeng salim in Thai, mung bean starch is prized for its clean, neutral taste and its ability to set into a tender, springy, glass-like texture when cooked. It's the essential ingredient behind classic Thai desserts like salim (colorful sweet noodles in coconut milk), lod chong (pandan jelly worms), and bua loy (rice flour balls in coconut milk), and it doubles as a delicate thickener for sauces, puddings, and dessert syrups.
