Taste Organic Arrowroot Starch

Arrowroot Powder (sometimes known as Arrowroot Starch) is white and powdery just like cornstarch. It is derived from a tropical South American plant and, like cornstarch, is used as a thickener in recipes. Arrowroot powder is extracted in a much different manner. The arrowroot is a tuberous plant which is washed, peeled, and grated into finer pieces. These arrowroot pieces are strained, allowing the liquid to drip off. The starch is in this liquid. The modern process of obtaining arrowroot powder is very similar to the process of traditional people with just a few differences in tools and processes. Arrowroot powder can be used very similarly to cornstarch by way of making a slurry. You must be careful to not overheat it though as arrowroot is more delicate than cornstarch and will breakdown quicker when heated too long or at too high of a temperature. You can use arrowroot powder to thicken soups, sauces, and stews. It works exactly like cornstarch but non GMO. It is one of the easiest starches for the body to digest as well.
