Arrowroot flour, derived from the tropical arrowroot plant, is a fine, gluten-free powder commonly used as a thickening agent or a substitute for traditional flours. Native to South America and the Caribbean, it has a long history in indigenous cooking and has gained global popularity for its versatility. This starch is low in calories, fat, and protein, making it a lighter option compared to other flours. Naturally free of gluten, arrowroot flour is suitable for gluten-sensitive diets. It is easy to digest, making it a popular choice for those with digestive issues or during recovery from illness. Additionally, its neutral taste allows it to blend seamlessly into both sweet and savory dishes. However, while arrowroot flour provides quick energy from carbohydrates, it is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals and should be balanced with nutrient-rich ingredients for optimal nutrition.
