Description

Arrowroot, or obedience plant (Maranta arundinacea), Bermuda arrowroot, araru, ararao, is a large perennial herb found in rainforest habitats.  It is cultivated for a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock), which is also called arrowroot.  Arrowroot makes clear, shimmering fruit gels and prevents ice crystals from forming in homemade ice cream. It can also be used as a thickener for acidic foods, such as Asian sweet and sour sauce. It is invaluable in cooking when you wish to have a clear, thickened sauce. It will not make the sauce go cloudy, as for example will cornstarch, flour or other starchy thickening agents.  Arrowroot thickens at a lower temperature than does flour or cornstarch, is not weakened by acidic ingredients, has a more neutral taste, and is not affected by freezing.

1.7 oz. & 3.5 oz.
