ORGANIC ARROWROOT STARCH, POWDER 18 OZ

Arrowroot powder is a healthy alternative to cornstarch. We use it to make gravies, and these gluten-free cookies, and according to our friends at More Than Alive, arrowroot powder is excellent in homemade ice cream and homemade cake flour. Here's how they use it: 1. Ice cream If you’ve had homemade ice cream before you know that an overnight freeze makes it almost impossible to scoop! Adding arrowroot powder keeps it from turning hard as a rock in the freezer. It also helps prevent ice crystals from forming on your ice cream. 2. Homemade cake flour I don’t even know how many times I’ve tried to bake a whole wheat cake and have been terribly disappointed. Since cake flour is a low-protein, refined wheat flour with cornstarch added, I wondered if a mixture of whole wheat flour and arrowroot powder might help my whole grain cake attempts turn out better. It worked! For every cup of flour called for in a cake recipe, I substitute 3/4 C. hard white wheat flour plus 2 T. arrowroot powder
