The History of Arrowroot Starch
Native to South America and the Caribbean, arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) was first cultivated by the Arawak Indians. They developed a water-wash and sieving method of extracting starch from the root, similar to what we use today. Native people prized arrowroot as a dietary staple and medicinal plant. It was applied to wounds and insect bites to draw out toxins. Today, moms the world over trust this classic starch in baby biscuits and instant cereals. Gentle and versatile, Organic Arrowroot Starch merits a proud place in your pantry.
For baking, organic Arrowroot starch is great in cakes, cookies, and biscuits. Simply replace other starches one-to-one. Thanks to its neutral flavor and consistent results, it is the starch of choice in pie fillings, custards and more.
