Jiva Organics Organic Arrowroot Flour Powder 2 lb Bag - Raw, Gluten-Free Thickener & Baking Starch

Jiva Organics Organic Arrowroot Flour is a finely milled, certified-organic arrowroot powder — a versatile, gluten-free starch for thickening, baking, and light-texture cooking.

Extracted from the roots of Maranta arundinacea and packaged in a 2-pound bag, this raw arrowroot powder provides a neutral-flavored, easily digestible alternative to cornstarch and some wheat-based flours. It’s non-GMO, vegan, and batch-tested gluten-free, making it suitable for a range of dietary needs and culinary uses from sauces to delicate baked goods.

How does this arrowroot help thicken sauces and desserts?

Arrowroot dissolves smoothly into both warm and cool liquids, creating a glossy, clear finish without clouding or altering flavors. It forms a light gel at lower temperatures compared with cornstarch, so you can achieve a silky consistency in puddings, fruit sauces, and pan sauces with minimal simmering.

• Use 1 tablespoon arrowroot per cup of liquid for light thickening.
• Mix with cold water first to make a slurry; then stir into hot liquid to avoid lumps.
• Works well with acidic ingredients like citrus and wine without breaking down.

Can I substitute arrowroot for other starches in baking and frying?

Yes — arrowroot functions as a 1:1 or near-1:1 substitute for cornstarch and often improves texture in gluten-free baking. In cookies, cakes, and batters it helps create tenderness and a finer crumb, while in frying it yields a light, crisp exterior.

• Replace cornstarch with equal amounts of arrowroot in most recipes.
• Combine with gluten-free flour blends to improve structure and chew.
• For frying, dust food lightly with arrowroot for a crisp finish that stays delicate.

What are the label highlights and dietary benefits?

This product is certified organic, non-GMO, raw, vegan, and batch-tested gluten-free, sourced from India. Arrowroot is gentle on digestion and offers a neutral taste, making it a suitable base for both savory and sweet preparations without adding allergens commonly found in wheat or corn.

• Certified organic and Non-GMO Project aligned ingredients.
• Batch-tested gluten-free to support allergy-sensitive kitchens.

Who is this for? Home cooks, bakers, and recipe developers who want a reliable, neutral-tasting thickener and flour alternative for gluten-free or allergen-conscious cooking will find this 2-pound bag practical and economical. It’s also a good choice for anyone seeking a lighter texture in sauces, desserts, and fried foods, plus those preferring organic, plant-derived pantry staples.
