Arrowroot Powder 1 Lb

Arrowroot is a white powder that looks and feels like cornstarch. Arrowroot has no flavor. Arrowroot is used as a thickening agent for sauces, fruit pie fillings, glazes, and puddings. Arrowroot starch does not turn sauces cloudy, and it works at temperatures below a simmer. Arrowroot starch is also gluten free. It's an excellent substitute for cornstarch and flour as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and puddings. Arrowroot starch is neutral tasting and tolerates acidic ingredients, such as citrus. The starch also freezes well and dissolves well at lower temperatures. In fact, it must be cooked over low heat as it doesn't endure high temperature cooking and does not reheat well. Also, arrowroot does not do well in milk-based cream sauces (it changes the texture), but bakes well in cakes, cookies and biscuits made with milk.
