In the kitchen, arrowroot powder proves to be incredibly versatile.

If you're looking to substitute wheat flour, a simple ratio of one teaspoon of Arrowroot to one tablespoon of wheat flour will do the trick. However, it's essential to note that Arrowroot Powder should not be overheated, as it loses its thickening properties at high temperatures. Therefore, it's best added towards the end of the cooking process. Also, it's unsuitable for people with diabetes due to its high starch content.
