Arrowroot Powder

Arrowroot powder is made by extracting the starches from the arrowroot plant's tubers, which is grown in tropical climates.

 

Though you can cook the root itself, arrowroot is more frequently consumed as a powder. It's used as a thickening agent for sauces, puddings, and jellies, as well as an ingredient in baked goods like cookies and cakes. Additionally, it's a popular replacement for wheat flour in gluten-free recipes.
