Regal Bulk Arrowroot Powder - 25 lb.

Regal bulk arrowroot powder is used as a thickening agent to make smooth sauces, fruit pie fillings, glazes, and puddings. Arrowroot has a similar appearance and texture to that of cornstarch, but arrowroot mixtures thicken at a lower temperature than mixtures made with flour or cornstarch. It will not gel when cooled, and it's a popular choice for mixing with acidic liquids. White in color, with a light and soft consistency, arrowroot powder is extracted from the root of a West Indian plant, Maranta arundinacea.

Mix arrowroot with cool liquids before adding hot liquids, then cook until the mixture thickens. Remove immediately to prevent the mixture from thinning. Two teaspoons of arrowroot can be substituted for 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and one teaspoon of arrowroot can be substituted for 1 tablespoon of flour. Arrowroot makes clear, shimmering fruit jellies and prevents ice crystals from being formed in ice cream.
