Where can I buy a bag of Arrowroot Starch powder for baking? Some Publix stores used to have it and a health food store used to have it, but nobody seems to be able to get it now.

You can buy it on Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more (http://www.amazon.com) with free shipping if you have prime.

Did you try Fresh Market on route 466? They have a lot of different food items that other stores do not carry.

I bought some, some time ago but can't remember where. I "might" have been Fresh Market as someone else stated. The Publix in the Santa Barbara plaza might have it...or it may have been the one in La Plaza Grande--but think it was the former. Anyway, they have quite an assortment of items for folks cooking/baking gluten free.

Have you tried the health-food stores---Lady Lake one is called Green Apple on 441/27 or the Leesburg one (don't know it's name) also on 441??? The store in La Plaza Grande doesn't have a very good representation of "food items" as the others do. IMHO

It's just cornstarch. I would think any supermarket would have cornstarch in the sugar and flour section.

I saw it at Fresh Market!!! Good for thickening gravy.

[NotGolfer]

It's not the same as cornstarch! If one needs to be gluten-free this is a different option. Much of our processed foods now have gluten in it...I shouldn't say "much" but "all". It's hidden in foods as a "binder".

[PaPaLarry]

Arrowroot thickens at a lower temperature then flour or cornstarch. And yes, the lack of gluten in arrowroot flour, can be used for wheat flour in some baking uses.

......purschased ARROWROOT at "Fresh Market" just before Christmas.....

It is likely that GeoGeo ( the OP)....is truly a skilled Chef.

........sounds like someone is going to make Custards or Puddings or
high-end Pie fillings or Jello or ultra gravy.
The silky "mouthfeel" and glossy see through are perfected only with Arrowroot.

... also use Arrowroot when making Home-made ice cream.....
the silky feel and prevention of ice crystals during storage is the reason.

If you wish to make Mac and Cheese or Beef Stew..Corn Starch is adequate.

..above info came from friend who runs a restaurant in Denver.
