WHAT IS ARROWROOT POWDER?

Arrowroot powder is a white, powdery starch that’s naturally gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly. It is extracted from the root of a tropical plant known as Maranta arundinacea. When the root is harvested, it looks pretty similar to cassava root, or yucca, so it’s oblong in shape. Arrowroot has many properties that benefit and fuel our bodies.
