Arrowroot starch is a fine white powder milled from the root of the tropical arrowroot plant. It thickens without clouding, sets with a clean glossy finish, and carries no taste of its own, so it disappears into whatever you cook.


This is the 25 lb bag, sized for kitchens that go through starch by the case rather than the cup. It is available in bulk or wholesale quantities for bakeries, restaurants, and foodservice buyers.


Culinary Uses

Stir it into sauces, gravies, soups, stews, puddings, and fruit fillings whenever you want body without weight. It swaps in for cornstarch at a one-to-one ratio, and it gives gluten-free and grain-free baking a lighter, more tender crumb. Add it toward the end of cooking and pull the pot before a hard boil, since prolonged high heat thins it back out.


Why Cooks Reach For It

The powder is neutral in flavor and nearly colorless once set, which keeps delicate sauces clear and bright. For anyone avoiding corn, it does the same job as cornstarch with none of the corn. Its fine grind dissolves quickly with no chalky aftertaste.

Bulk, Quantity, and Packaging Options

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bob's Red Mill arrowroot starch the same as arrowroot flour?
Yes, they're the same thing. "Starch" and "flour" are just two names for the same powder, and you'll see it labeled either way depending on the brand. Nothing changes in how you use it.
Can I substitute arrowroot starch for cornstarch in Bob's Red Mill recipes?
You can, and at a straight one to one swap. It thickens just as well and sets up clearer, which is why a lot of cooks prefer it for glossy sauces and fruit fillings. The one catch is to add it late and not boil it hard.
Does Bob's Red Mill arrowroot starch need to be refrigerated?
No, it's shelf stable. Just keep it sealed somewhere cool and dry, away from humidity. A pantry or dry storage shelf works fine, and there's no need to take up fridge space with it.
How much arrowroot starch do I use to thicken a sauce?
Less than you'd expect. Roughly one to two teaspoons per cup of liquid is a good starting point. Mix it with a little cold liquid first to make a slurry, then stir it in near the end of cooking, and add more only if it needs it.
How do I get the smoothest results with arrowroot starch?
Stir in a slurry slowly and stop once it coats the spoon, since this starch thickens quickly. Add it near the end of cooking and take it off the heat before a hard boil. That keeps the texture silky and gives you a clear, glossy finish.
