Bob's Red Mill Premium Quality Arrowroot Starch/Flour
Arrowroot is an easily digested starch extracted from the roots of the arrowroot plant, Maranta arundinacea. Arrowroot Starch is an excellent grain free 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.

FAQs:
Q: Can arrowroot starch replace cornstarch in recipes?
A: Yes, arrowroot starch is an excellent substitute for cornstarch. It can typically be used in a 1:1 ratio. However, unlike cornstarch, arrowroot performs better in acidic environments and doesn’t break down when frozen, making it ideal for fruit sauces, jams, and frozen desserts.
Q: Is arrowroot starch suitable for baking?
A: Absolutely. Arrowroot starch is frequently used in gluten-free baking to enhance the texture of cakes, cookies, and biscuits. It is best when blended with other gluten-free flours, adding softness and preventing crumbliness in the final product.
Q: How should arrowroot starch be added to recipes?
A: For best results, mix arrowroot starch with a small amount of cold liquid to create a slurry before adding it to hot dishes. This prevents clumping and ensures smooth, even thickening. Avoid boiling arrowroot for extended periods, as it can break down under high heat.
