Arrowroot Powder and the low FODMAP diet
Arrowroot powder is a pure starch extracted from tropical plant roots and contains virtually no FODMAPs. It serves as an excellent thickening agent that remains gentle on sensitive digestive tracts. Individuals managing IBS appreciate its neutral flavor and clear texture in sauces. Adding it to cold liquid before heating prevents unwanted clumping during cooking. Its rapid digestibility makes it ideal for binding gluten-free batters.

What can change the result?
Arrowroot loses thickening power when exposed to high heat or acidic ingredients, so add it near the end of cooking. Mixing it with a compatible cold liquid creates a smooth slurry that integrates evenly into hot dishes. Store in a cool, dry container to prevent moisture absorption that compromises its binding efficiency. Use it as a direct one-to-one substitute for cornstarch in most low-FODMAP recipes.
