Arrowroot Flour and the low FODMAP diet
Arrowroot flour is a fine white powder extracted from the root of tropical plants and prized for its neutral flavor. It contains almost exclusively starch without any meaningful concentration of fermentable sugars. This clean carbohydrate profile allows it to pass through the digestive tract without triggering bacterial fermentation. It serves as a gentle, reliable thickener for sauces, custards, and baked goods.

What can change the result?
Arrowroot works best when added at the end of cooking to preserve its thickening power without breaking down. Mix it with cold liquid first to prevent clumping when incorporating into warm mixtures. It creates a glossy finish in glazes and pie fillings that enhances presentation and texture. Store it in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and clumping over time.
