01

Powdered

Fine, flour-like state used directly as a gluten-free thickener for clear sauces, gravies, and fruit glazes.

02

Infused

Slurry form created by mixing with cold liquid, whisked into hot bases to provide a neutral, glossy thickening agent.

03

Toasted

Lightly dry-heated to remove raw starchiness before integration into delicate butter-based emulsions or gluten-free baking recipes.

04

Chilled

The finished thickened sauce or pie filling, cooled to maintain a stable, non-weeping gelatinous texture characteristic of arrowroot.
