What is Arrowroot Powder?

Arrowroot Powder, also known as Koova Podi or Ararut Ka Churna, is a fine, white, starchy flour extracted from the tuber of the arrowroot plant. Traditionally used across India and Southeast Asia, it is known for its soothing properties, digestive ease, and versatility in food and wellness applications.

Unlike cornflour or wheat flour, Arrowroot is naturally gluten-free, grain-free, and easy to digest, making it ideal for children, the elderly, and individuals with food sensitivities.
