Arrowroot Arrowroot Arrowroot Flour - Fit Food

Arrowroot flour, also known as arrowroot, is extracted from the roots of the plant of the same name (Maranta arundinacea), which is found in American tropical forests. This flour has historical roots, having been used extensively by the Mayans and more recently, its popularity has also exploded in Europe due to its versatility and nutritional benefits.

Reasons for arrowroot flour's growing popularity include its high fiber content, its ability to thicken at low temperatures, and its richness in nutrients, including calcium and manganese. Furthermore, arrowroot flour is very digestible and does not contain gluten, making it an excellent option for those looking for alternatives to wheat-based products (this however is not certified and is not suitable for coeliacs).
