Arrowroot Powder is a fine, white, odourless starch derived from the arrowroot plant and valued for its light texture and gentle flavour. It is commonly used as a natural thickener for sauces, soups, and puddings, and is a popular choice in gluten-free baking. Its mild profile makes it easy to work with in both savoury and sweet recipes, while the soft powder texture also suits simple DIY personal care formulations.
This single-ingredient product is Certified Organic and suitable for food and cosmetic use. Why we love it: Arrowroot Powder is one of those beautifully simple ingredients that earns its place in both the pantry and the making cupboard. We love how versatile it is - reliable in recipes, easy to blend, and wonderfully silky in powder-based formulations.
It also reflects the kind of ingredient we like to offer: minimal, practical, naturally derived, and useful across more than one routine.
