🌿 Premium Arrowroot Powder, Milled Fine for Clean, Reliable Thickening
Arrowroot powder is the soft, white starch pressed and milled from the rhizome of Maranta arundinacea, a tropical perennial long valued in West Indian and Southeast Asian kitchens. Ours is a single, pure ingredient, dried at low temperatures and milled fine so it disperses smoothly. It is a clear, neutral thickener for sauces, gravies, fruit fillings, puddings, and gluten-free baking, and it belongs right alongside the rest of our culinary herbs and spices. Available in 1/2 lb, 1 lb, 5 lb, and 15 lb bulk sizes.
Cooks reach for arrowroot because it performs where other starches fall short. It thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch, sets to a glossy, almost translucent finish rather than a cloudy one, and holds up through freezing and thawing. Its flavor is so neutral that it never masks the fruit, dairy, or aromatics it is carrying. For best results we whisk it into cold liquid first, then stir the slurry in near the end of cooking. You can read more in our complete arrowroot guide and tropical starch deep dive.
🌱 From the Sacred Plant Co Farm
Sacred Plant Co is a soil-first farm. Our own farm in Colorado earned a groundbreaking Haney Soil Health Score of 25.4, a number that surpasses the soil biology measured in pristine forest land. That score is the heart of who we are. We believe healthier soil grows more complex, more potent plants, and that philosophy is the reason we hold every herb we carry to the same biological and per-lot testing standards.
Arrowroot is a tropical plant that flourishes in the warm, humid conditions of the lowland tropics, the climate it has always thrived in. We partner with a vetted farm in Thailand that specializes in exactly those conditions and grows it right where it flourishes, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
Radical transparency is built into how we sell. Every lot of our arrowroot is backed by a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis verifying purity and the absence of contaminants, and we publish each lot on a historical list so you can confirm the exact batch you receive. Review the current and past COAs on our arrowroot COA and guide page.

Arrowroot Powder FAQ
Can I substitute arrowroot powder for cornstarch in my recipes?
Yes, and most home cooks find it a clean one-for-one swap. We recommend whisking the arrowroot into a little cold liquid first to make a smooth slurry, then stirring it in near the end of cooking. It thickens at a lower temperature than cornstarch and sets to a glossy, clear finish, so it shines in fruit fillings, glazes, and delicate sauces. A gentle hand is all it takes: a brief simmer thickens beautifully, while a long hard boil thins it back out.
Is your arrowroot powder gluten-free and grain-free?
It is. Our arrowroot powder is a single ingredient: the pure starch milled from the rhizome of Maranta arundinacea, with nothing added. That makes it naturally gluten-free and grain-free, which is why it is a favorite in paleo and grain-free baking. Every lot is backed by a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, and you can review the full historical COA list on our arrowroot guide before you buy.
Where is your arrowroot grown?
Arrowroot is a tropical plant that flourishes in the warm, humid conditions of the lowland tropics. We partner with a vetted farm in Thailand that grows it right where those conditions are ideal, to the same soil-first, biological standard that defines our own Colorado farm. Every lot we ship receives the same per-batch lab work and the same 100% money-back guarantee as everything we carry.
Can I use arrowroot powder on my skin or in homemade cosmetics?
Many of our customers do. Arrowroot has a long tradition as a silky, lightweight base for body powders, dry shampoo blends, and homemade lotions and deodorants, where it lends a soft, non-greasy finish. We mill ours fine for an even texture in cosmetic formulations. As with any new ingredient, we suggest a small patch test first.
