Organic arrowroot powder is a fine, neutral-flavoured starch used primarily as a thickener in cooking and baking. It creates a clear, glossy finish and is especially useful where flour or cornstarch aren’t ideal.

What It’s Used For
Arrowroot powder is used to thicken liquids without changing flavour or colour. It’s commonly chosen when you want a clean finish or are working with ingredients that don’t behave well with other starches.
It works particularly well for:
-
Fruit sauces and fillings (berry sauces, pie fillings, jams)
-
Clear sauces and glazes
-
Acidic dishes (citrus or vinegar-based recipes)
-
Gluten-free baking
Unlike flour, arrowroot thickens quickly and doesn’t need long cooking.
About Arrowroot
Arrowroot is derived from tropical tubers and has a long history of use as a food starch. Traditionally, it has been considered easy to digest and is often chosen for lighter cooking or gentle diets.
Because it’s naturally gluten-free and grain-free, arrowroot is commonly used by those avoiding wheat or corn-based thickeners.
How to Use
-
Mix 1–2 teaspoons arrowroot powder with a small amount of cold liquid
-
Stir into hot liquid near the end of cooking
-
Heat gently until thickened, then remove from heat
Arrowroot does not tolerate long boiling.
