What is arrowroot?

Arrowroot is made from the dried root of a tropical plant. It is a thickening agent that may be used in place of cornstarch. As a thickener, it can be used for soups, sauces and puddings. It has no flavor of its own and is the easiest starch to digest. Arrowroot is best used at the end of your cooking just before boiling, as continued heating will cause it to lose its thickening ability. It is also an excellent ingredient for gluten-free baking or breading.

Bob's Red Mill products labeled gluten free are batch tested in our quality control laboratory. We use an ELISA Gluten Assay test to determine if a product is gluten free.


Can be purchased at www.iherb.com

I requested that they add this product to their line of food products and I am pleased they granted my request cause this is a most important ingredient in gluten free cooking. Now I can get all my supplies at one place.Thanks iherb!
