Arrowroot starch is a starch extract extracted from the arrowroot root plant.
How to make arrowroot starch: the arrowroot tubers are cleaned from the epidermis and immediately soaked in water so they don't oxidize and change color. Then the arrowroot tubers are immediately ground gently and then the dregs are squeezed to form a liquid which is then left for 12 hours to allow sediment to form. After 12 hours of silence, a precipitate will form. The precipitate is taken and dried using an oven or dried under the hot sun. After being dried with a water content of about 10%, then softened again and then sieved/filtered to produce starch that is as soft as baby powder and then packaged.
