It can be used as a thickener for acidic foods, such as Asian sweet and sour sauce. It’s used in cooking to produce a clear, thickened sauce, such as a fruit sauce. It is going to not make the sauce go cloudy, like cornstarch, flour or other starchy thickening agents would. The lack of gluten in arrowroot flour makes it useful in its place for wheat flour in some baking uses. Like other pure starches, alternatively, arrowroot is almost pure carbohydrates and devoid of protein, thus it does not provide a complete substitute for wheat flour for bread-making, which requires gluten. Arrowroot thickens at a lower temperature than flour or cornstarch, isn’t weakened by acidic ingredients, has a more neutral taste, and isn’t suffering from freezing. It doesn’t mix well with dairy, forming a slimy mixture. It is strongly recommended that arrowroot be mixed with a cool liquid before add
