Arrowroot Nutrition

Arrowroot

Arrowroot is not technically a plant in itself, but rather a type of powdery starch that can be readily obtained from the roots or rhizomes of the Marantaceae family of plants.

This high nutrient density starch has been very valuable to a number of indigenous cultures dating back more than 7,000 years.
