  • Directions

    Mix an equal amount of arrowroot powder and cold water to create a slurry. Then whisk the mixture into a hot liquid for 30 seconds. 1 tablespoon of arrowroot slurry will thicken 1 cup of hot liquid. Substitute 2 teaspoons of arrowroot for 1 tablespoon of corn starch, or 1 teaspoon of arrowroot for 1 tablespoon of flour.

  • Uses

    Arrowroot powder is commonly used as a thickener for sauces, pudding, and glazes since it imparts a shiny gloss on foods. However, it is not recommended for use with dairy-based products as it may cause a slimy texture. Arrowroot is naturally gluten-free, which makes it a healthier alternative for bread and pasta. In comparison to cornstarch, it has a more neutral flavour so it is well-suited for delicately flavoured foods.

  • Storage

    Recommended shelf life is 12 months when stored in a cool, dry location.
