In the kitchen, Organic Arrowroot Powder shines as a natural thickening agent, adding silky smooth texture to soups, sauces, gravies, and puddings without altering the flavour profile. Its neutral taste makes it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savoury recipes, from baked goods to stir-fries.
Beyond the kitchen, arrowroot powder boasts a range of wellness benefits. It's renowned for its soothing properties, making it a popular ingredient in natural skincare products such as talc-free baby powders and DIY facial masks.
Arrowroot powder is a gentle and nourishing skincare ingredient, rich in vital nutrients essential for skin health. Its natural properties include the ability to absorb excess moisture from skin cells, providing a cooling and drying effect. This aids in soothing and accelerating the healing process of inflamed skin, promoting a healthier complexion.
Directions
Arrowroot powder serves as an excellent thickener, seamlessly replacing corn flour with its unique properties. Unlike corn flour, arrowroot powder creates a clear gel and maintains its integrity even when combined with acidic ingredients.
For Gravies, Stews, and Sauces: Enhance the texture and consistency of your gravies, stews, and sauces with arrowroot powder. Its ability to create a clear gel ensures a smooth and velvety finish without compromising on flavour.
In Bakery Creations: Elevate your baked goods with arrowroot powder, which serves as a reliable thickening agent in biscuits, jellies, cakes, puddings, fruit pie fillings, and glazes. Its clear gel formation remains stable even in acidic environments, providing a flawless texture to your sweet treats.
As a Face Mask/Body Scrub: Add as additional ingredient to your favourite at home face mask recipe. Arrowroot powder will help to absorb excess oil and will help to leave your skin feeling refreshed and clean. For a DIY body scrub, mix with coarse salt and your favourite essential oil!
For Dry Shampoo: Simply add a small amount of arrowroot powder to the roots of your hair, let it sit for a couple of minutes and then brush it out (with a hairbrush or your fingers). For darker hair, consider adding activated charcoal powder to make the colour more similar to your own hair.
