About Arrow root

Arrowroot is a starch extracted from the tubers of the Maranta arundinacea plant, native to tropical regions of South America and the Caribbean. Known for its fine texture and neutral flavor, it is commonly used as a thickener in soups, sauces, and baked goods, and is prized for its versatility in gluten-free and grain-free cooking. Arrowroot is easy to digest and naturally low in fat, making it a popular choice for sensitive stomachs and dietary restrictions. It provides small amounts of potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins, while being free of common allergens. While it contains carbohydrates, its glycemic load is relatively low, making it suitable for moderated consumption in balanced diets. Arrowroot's simplicity and lack of additives contribute to its appeal for clean eating enthusiasts across various cuisines, making it a staple ingredient for healthy recipes worldwide.
