Arrowroot Starch

Arrowroot Starch is a fine, neutral-tasting starch extracted from the rhizomes of the arrowroot plant and commonly used as a gluten‑free thickener, binder in baking, and in clear sauces and puddings. It is almost entirely energy from carbohydrates, providing 88.2g per 100g, with very little protein, fat or fiber. Nutritionally it behaves like a refined starch—useful for texture and gluten‑free cooking but not a significant source of protein, fiber or micronutrients, so it’s best used sparingly as part of a varied diet.
