Bob's Red Mill Arrowroot Starch / Flour, 16-ounce (Pack of 4)

I have been looking for Arrowroot starch everywhere. If and that is a big IF a local store carries it, it costs about $5 for a tiny bottle the size of a spice bottle. I know how helpful Arrowroot starch can be in cooking so I knew I wanted more and didn't want to pay so much for so little, especially with summer pies and things coming up soon. I almost ordered the McCormick brand it was like $38 for two 20 ounce bottles and is a brand I trust but it wasn't available right away. I'm glad it wasn't now because I bought this instead and couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the product. I use it to thicken everything from soup to fruit cobblers/pies. It's does a wonderful job quickly thickening and stays clear so it doesn't effect the look or taste of your dish. This was a much better price than the McCormick and while it comes well sealed in plastic bags instead of a resealable bottle that's okay with me. It was a heck of a deal, I just opened my first bag and put it in a resealable lock and lock container for storage. I got it earlier this week and have already used it several times. I would not hesitate to order this again or to try any of the other products this company has now that I see the level of quality they produce.

I have this item on automatic shipment receiving 3 boxes per month for our larger family. We all eat a GF/DF + diet. Because there are multiple food allergies in our family, grocery shopping can be a bit pricey. Amazon's prices allow us to buy the ingredients we need at a price that doesn't break the bank, and Bob's Red Mill provides the high quality products that provide consistent tasty results every time.This arrowroot flour is a must have in the gluten-free kitchen. We pair this with the Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean flour, using equal amounts of each in our recipes, for fantastic results every. single. time. My daughter professionally makes allergen free cakes and goodies, and this product, with the garbanzo bean flour, are her go to pairing for almost all of her treats. Everyone enjoys the end results - even those who do not follow a GF diet. That's the true test, and Bob's Red Mill ingredients pass the test every time.

I just started using this stuff and it's great! I am using it in some of my home made personal care products as well as for cooking. It has no flavor of its own...so its a great thickener.This is not the easiest thing to find locally. (I have to drive 20 minutes to the nearest store that sells it) so seeing it here and being able to have it delivered was great!It came well packed, all bags were sealed and there was zero residue on the outside of the package. (I had 4 bags...should last me a while)

Because I have so many MD- and test-diagnosed food allergies, I REALLY have to rely on alternate flours. Arrowroot is a great flour to add to a flour mixture because it has a couple of good properties:1) It adds "hold" if you aren't able to have eggs in a recipe. It's good to add to a mixture of rice flours, for example, which do not hold together well on their own.2) It can also be used as a thickener in lieu of cornstarch.On the flip side, arrowroot has a very strong flavor, so I would not personally use it as the only flour in a recipe (unless using it as a minor ingredient, such as a cornstarch thickener substitute).As a helpful tip, often you will see the term "arrowroot powder" in recipes. "Arrowroot flour" is interchangeable with this term.

This is a good quality product. Arrowroot has many uses in the kitchen, especially for gluten free cooking and as a thickener for sauces. It also can be used in homemade ice cream to reduce ice crystals and make it creamier.Interestingly, arrowroot was the antidote for poisonous arrows used by the Arawak Indians in South America and has been used as a nutritional food for people who are recuperating from illness. It was used routinely in the past as a beneficial ingredient in teething biscuits. An online search will reveal many of the amazing properties of arrowroot. Bob's Red Mill sells the true arrowroot i.e. maranta arundinacea

Flour package broken open Flour everywhere!!

Bob's is a consistently excellent product. This arrowroot flour is no different. We use it for a lot of baking, just this morning we used in a Waffle batter ([...]). These bulk packages and the Amazon price crush anything you can buy at your local grocer. Most grocer's sell arrowroot in small spice jar size bottles for almost the same price as one of these 20 ounce packages comes out to be. Insane! Especially if living the gluten free life where this can be a baking staple.

This brand is one of my favorites! They offer so many gluten free items it's perfect for the home chef. The package arrived in a timely matter.
