Country of origin: Thailand

Arrowroot plant roots (Maranta arundinaceae) are the raw material source.

Before extracting the starch, the roots are cleaned and scales removed to prevent unpleasant flavor. The roots are crushed in mortars, producing a milky liquid that is passed through a coarse cloth. The insoluble, pure starch settles to the bottom and is dried into a fine powder.

Recommended Use: For emulsions, 1-30% For dry powders: 5-95 percent
