Arrowroot starch and tapioca flour are two products that are used quite a bit in gluten-free cooking and baking. They are used to replace corn starch and wheat flour in various recipes. Arrowroot starch can sometimes substitute for tapioca flour depending on the application.
Arrowroot starch is mostly used as a thickener in foods such as puddings and sauces. Its thickening power is twice that of regular flour. It should be mixed with cold water before being added to a hot liquid to prevent clumping.
