Product Description

Enhance your cooking with a natural gluten-free, thickening agent. Discover arrowroot powder benefits and especially its uses for the skin and babies.

Arrowroot powder is a versatile and gluten-free starch extracted from the roots of the arrowroot plant and has a vast range of uses—from food to health and beauty products. Arrowroot powder is most famous as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and puddings. It is an excellent replacement for cornstarch since it has no aftertaste or flavour. It is also beneficial to us from a cosmetic angle.

Did you know that the name arrowroot came from the word “aru-aru,” which means “meal of meals” in the Caribbean Arawak people? According to archaeologists, arrowroot has been cultivated in the Americas as early as 7000 years ago. An ancient marvel, right?
