It is known as the digestible biscuit that is given to small children, the elderly, and people with digestive issues.
BenefitsThe extraction of starch from arrowroot powder is much more natural than with cornstarch, making it an ideal selection for people who are concerned about heavily processed foods.
It will not alter the color or taste of clear jellies or sauces made of fruit. It does change the texture of milk and cream-based sauces, so be aware.
Arrowroot's thickening abilities are present at lower temperatures than cornstarch or flour and it holds up well to freezing.
It is used as a healthier substitute for talc in cosmetics.
History
Archaeological evidence shows the cultivation of arrowroot as early as 7,000 years ago in the Americas. It was a food staple of the Arawak people of the Caribbean.
It was introduced in Europe around the 1700's, mainly in its role as an easily digestible food given to infants as a substitute for milk during weaning.
In the 1800's, arrowroot was used in paper making and was the choice of photographers for photo paper.
Today, arrowroot is cultivated in tropical climates around the world, although most of it comes from St. Vincent.
