Arrowroot powder is gluten-free, non-GMO, and less processed. Arrowroot naturally thickens any recipe, including sauces, glazes, and jellies. It's tasteless and leaves food glossy, and you can blend it with almond or coconut flour to whip up bread and desserts.

It is the perfect alternative for cornstarch and wheat flour. It thickens foods at lower temperatures than other starches without altering the foods color or taste.
