Bob’s Red Mill Arrowroot Starch/Flour 454g/1lb

Description

Arrowroot is an easily digested starch extracted from the roots of the arrowroot plant, Maranta arundinacea. It is gluten free and can be used as a direct substitute for cornstarch for folks with corn allergies. It has no flavor of its own, so can be used to thicken any sauce, soup, stew, or pudding. Use in gluten free baking for light, delicate textures. Because arrowroot powder does not change the taste of a dish, it’s quickly become a favorite amongst bakers.

Arrowroot starch is also amazingly natural. Unlike cornstarch, when extracting arrowroot powder, most companies skip the high heat and chemical extraction process. By removing arrowroot starch more directly, it helps keep this powder chemical free.
