How to Use

Mix 1-2 tablespoons arrowroot powder with equal parts cold water to form a slurry, then stir into hot sauces, gravies, or soups to thicken.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between arrowroot and cornstarch? Arrowroot creates a clearer, glossier thickener than cornstarch and works at lower temperatures — ideal for delicate fruit sauces and recipes where a transparent sauce is preferred.

Can arrowroot be used as a 1:1 substitute for cornstarch? Use about 1 teaspoon of arrowroot for every tablespoon of cornstarch — arrowroot is more efficient and breaks down if overcooked, so add it near the end of cooking.

Is arrowroot powder used in Indian cooking? Yes — arrowroot (paniphal starch) is used in traditional Indian sweets, baby foods, and as a thickener in specific regional preparations.
