Arrowroot Powder
Arrowroot powder is a fine, white starch extracted from the root of the arrowroot plant, Maranta arundinacea, which is indigenous to tropical regions of the Americas. Historically, it has been used by indigenous peoples for its medicinal properties and as a dietary staple. The powder is known for its mild, slightly nutty flavor and aroma, which is subtle enough not to overpower other ingredients in dishes. Its texture is silky and smooth, making it ideal for thickening sauces, gravies, and puddings without imparting any strong taste. In cooking, arrowroot powder behaves as an excellent thickening agent, creating clear, glossy results that remain stable even when chilled. Unlike cornstarch, it thickens at a lower temperature and does not break down as easily with prolonged cooking, making it a versatile choice for a variety of recipes.
