Arrowroot Starch
Arrowroot starch is a fine white thickener used in fruit fillings, sauces, and puddings. It thickens without adding much flavor and is often used in gluten-free cooking.
Identity
Clear thickener
Useful for fruit fillings and sauces that need body.
Whisk arrowroot starch with dry ingredients or a small amount of cool liquid before heating so it disperses evenly. It thickens fruit juices gently and helps fillings slice or spoon cleanly.
