Arrowroot Powder (per 100g)

What is arrowroot powder

Arrowroot powder is a fine starch prized as a natural thickener for sauces, fruit fillings, soups and syrups. It creates a glossy, clear finish and has a neutral taste, so it works well when you want texture without changing the flavour.

It is also a useful ingredient for gluten free baking, helping cakes, biscuits and bakes feel lighter and less dense. As a versatile store cupboard staple, it belongs in any zero waste pantry focused on simple, multi-purpose ingredients.

How to use

Use arrowroot starch as a smooth, gentle thickener for both sweet and savoury recipes. It works especially well when mixed with a little cold water before adding to hot liquids.

Best uses in the kitchen

• Thickening gravy, sauces and custards
• Adding body to fruit sauces and dessert toppings
• Helping pie fillings set cleanly
• Supporting light, tender textures in gluten free baking
• Giving a clear finish to soups and syrups

Tip: Add arrowroot powder near the end of cooking for the best texture, as it thickens quickly.

Cosmetic powder uses

Many people choose arrowroot powder as a simple cosmetic powder because it feels soft on the skin and helps absorb moisture. It is a popular option for homemade personal care recipes and plastic-free bathroom routines.

DIY beauty ideas

• Natural deodorant: combine with coconut oil and shea butter for a gentle underarm formula
• Face masks: blend with honey or yoghurt for a simple soothing treatment
• Baby powder alternative: use a light dusting as a talc-free option for delicate skin
• Dry shampoo: apply sparingly at the roots to help refresh oily hair

For a dry shampoo effect, sprinkle a small amount onto the roots, massage it through the scalp and brush out any excess.

Please note that we are the retailer, not the manufacturer of the products we sell.

We work hard to keep our product information accurate and up to date. However, manufacturers may occasionally change ingredients, descriptions, or production practices without notifying us. We recommend always checking the product label upon receipt.

For loose products, if you require a specific country of origin or best before date, please contact us before placing your order.

Allergen Information

As a bulk foods store, despite maintaining a Five-Star Food Hygiene rating, the presence of allergens cannot be fully eliminated. Sacks of products containing allergens are opened and closed daily as we scoop and refill our shop dispensers. We use separate scoops for each product and store each product in its own container or original sack — however, products containing allergens are not stored or packed in a self-contained area.

This means all products may contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination.

Where a product is indicated as free from a particular allergen, this means it has not been formulated from or wholly derived from that ingredient. Allergen handling procedures are in place throughout our supply chain to minimise the risk of cross-contamination, but this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have a severe food allergy, please contact us before ordering so we can advise whether our products are suitable for you.

If you are unsure whether a product is suitable for your allergy, please contact us before purchasing.
