Arrowroot Powder and Its Many Advantages
Arrowroot plant also known as Maranta arundinacea makes Arrowroot powder that is used for cooking as a thickener. It was indigenous to the natives of the West Indies, the Arawak tribe, and was used as an antidote for arrow poisoning. This is how the name arrowroot was coined. Brazil, Thailand, Bengal, Philippines, Mauritius and West Africa are teeming with arrowroot plants.
Arrowroot tubers go through cleaning, washing and draining. It results to a milky liquid after pulverizing the pulp in a wooden mortar. The liquid substance passes through a sieve and the pure starch derived is allowed to settle at the bottom and drained. After thorough cleansing, it is placed in a drying house or under the sun to dry. After all that processing, arrowroot powder is ready to be packed in an air-tight containers or packages.
The characteristics of bulk arrowroot powder are similar to that of a cornstarch. Cornstarch and flour is as unscented, flavorless, and dry as arrowroot powder. It is commonly used as a thickener in various dishes such as pie, pudding, jellies, and gravies or sauces. Starch thickeners are food additives that emulsifies when mixed with liquid at certain proportions. The color of the food remains uninterrupted after arrowroot powder is introduced.
It thickens in the presence of acidic preparations and works under low heat. Thickened sauces with arrowroot powder can stand up through thawing and freezing. It is recommended to avoid blending arrowroot powder with dairy as the outcome becomes greasy.
Starch substitutes may be used in lieu of Arrowroot namely, Tapioca Starch, Instant Clear Gel, Kudzu Powder, Potato Starch, Rice Starch and Flour. Be reminded though that some starch substitutes may not work precisely as the Arrowroot powder does when used in a recipe.
Aside from being a food additive, this bulk herb is a practical replacement for wheat flour in several baked goods. Arrowroot is devoid of proteins as its basic composition is carbohydrates. Being gluten-free, makes it digestible food well fitted for infants or elderly people with irregular bowel movements. It is the only starch with calcium ash, which contains compounds important for the proper maintenance of acid and alkali balances in the human body.
Because of its lack of protein, it is greatly used by vegetarians and by individuals with dietary restrictions who require less or no protein in the diet. Food commonly containing arrowroot as ingredient would be biscuits, pudding, jellies and cakes. In Korea, arrowroot powder is incorporated in beef tea, milk, veal broth and noodles.
