The Verdict
FAQ
Q: Can I substitute this 1:1 for cornstarch in any recipe? A: Yes, for hot applications like sauces, gravies, and pie fillings. But don’t use it in recipes you plan to freeze—arrowroot breaks down after thawing and turns watery. Also note it thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch, so add it later in the cooking process.
Q: Does arrowroot powder have any taste? A: No. It’s completely neutral, which is actually an advantage over flour (which can taste raw if undercooked) and cornstarch (which can leave a slightly metallic note in some dishes). That’s why it’s popular for fruit pies and clear sauces.
Q: How should I store this 5-pound bag? A: Transfer it to an airtight glass jar or plastic container immediately. Arrowroot absorbs moisture from the air, which can cause clumping and reduce its thickening power. Stored properly in a cool, dark pantry, it’ll last 2-3 years.
