Jiva Organics Organic Arrowroot Flour is a finely milled, certified-organic arrowroot starch ideal for gluten-free baking, gentle thickening, and everyday cooking.

This 5-pound bag of raw, non-GMO arrowroot powder is milled from pure Maranta arundinacea and batch-tested gluten-free, offering a neutral-flavored, easily digestible alternative to cornstarch and wheat-based flours. Its powdery texture blends smoothly into liquids and batters, making it a practical pantry staple for home cooks, bakers, and anyone seeking plant-based, allergen-friendly ingredients. Packaged in a family-size bag, it supplies ample quantity for frequent use in sauces, baked goods, and homemade mixes.

How does Jiva Organics arrowroot flour improve sauces and gravies?

Arrowroot creates clear, glossy sauces that set smoothly at lower temperatures than many starches, so it preserves delicate flavors and avoids cloudiness. It also stays stable when frozen and reheated, which is useful for meal prep and make-ahead dishes.

• Use 1 tablespoon arrowroot per 1 cup liquid for standard thickening.
• Mix into a slurry with cold water before adding to hot liquids to prevent lumps.
• Produces a translucent finish ideal for fruit glazes, light gravies, and pan sauces.
• Retains texture after freezing better than cornstarch in many recipes.

Can I substitute this arrowroot powder in gluten-free baking?

Yes — arrowroot works as a binding and texturizing agent in gluten-free recipes, often combined with other flours for structure and tenderness. It contributes a soft crumb to cakes, cookies, and quick breads without adding strong flavors.

• Replace cornstarch 1:1 for similar thickening in recipes.
• Combine with rice or almond flours to improve dough elasticity.
• Add 1–2 tablespoons per cup of flour blend to lighten texture.
• Excellent in batters for crisping fritters, pancakes, and tortillas.

How should I store and measure arrowroot for best results?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its neutral aroma and prevent moisture clumping. Measure by spoon rather than packing to maintain consistent thickness and texture in recipes.

• Store in an airtight container after opening to extend freshness.
• Use a dry spoon and level measurements for baking accuracy.
• Prepare a cold-water slurry to avoid lumps when thickening hot liquids.
• Refrigerate only if your kitchen is humid; otherwise pantry storage is fine.
