A white powder used as a thickening agent in soups, stews and sauces. It works in the same way as cornstarch but is a better alternative for those who prefer non-GMO products. Cornstarch is derived from corn, most of which is now genetically modified, and goes through a harsh extraction process involving chemicals and high heat. Arrow root powder however is derived from the tuberous arrow root plant in a much more natural process involving cutting, soaking in water, mashing and straining.
