About Arrowroot
Arrowroot, a starchy powder derived from the rhizomes of the tropical arrowroot plant, is prized for its versatility and nutritional benefits. Originating in South America and the Caribbean, this gluten-free thickener is a staple in many cuisines, especially for soups, sauces, and baked goods. Naturally low in calories, arrowroot is rich in carbohydrates and a modest source of potassium and B vitamins. It’s easy to digest, making it ideal for individuals with sensitive stomachs or dietary restrictions. Unlike corn starch, arrowroot works well in acidic recipes and provides a silky texture without overpowering flavors. While arrowroot is not particularly high in protein or fiber, its clean, allergen-free profile and ability to soothe digestive discomfort make it a healthy alternative to processed thickeners. However, as a concentrated starch, it should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet.
