What's the difference between arrowroot powder and cornstarch?
Arrowroot powder and cornstarch both thicken, but arrowroot is derived from a tropical root vegetable (Maranta Arundinaceae), is grain-free, and is naturally non-GMO. Cornstarch comes from corn and is a common allergen or GMO concern. Arrowroot also thickens at lower temperatures and creates a clearer, glossier finish in sauces.
