What is arrow root powder?
It is the filtered powder of a tuber, named arrowroot. This floor is not powdered in the way other materials are powdered. This is cleaned, wet-ground, and then filtered. When the whole filtered part is left overnight, the powder will be settled at the bottom. Which is, in turn, washed one more time before filtering again. The whole process of washing and filtering will be continued for many times. After final drying, we get the pure white arrowroot powder.
