	Arrowroot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Guinea arrowroot
		Guinea arrowroot is distributed geographically through Puerto Rico, the Antilles and countries situated in northern South America (the Guyanas, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil)—countries in which it is assumed to have originated.
		Guinea arrowroot is a species very sensitive to small water shortages and a greater availability of water has the effect of bringing forward and stimulating growth of the tuberous roots and encouraging the formation of new rhizomes.
		Guinea arrowroot is a vegetable that is especially recommended for use in agroforestry systems where its agronomic limitations, considered from the point of view of conventional monoculture (for example its shade requirement and its method of propagation), could be changed into advantages.

		The Arawak also used arrowroot tubers to draw poison from wounds inflicted by poisoned arrows, which is where the name "arrowroot" apparently came from in English, first recorded in 1696.
		Arrowroot should only be used at the very end of cooking, since unlike other thickeners (such as corn starch or tapioca) it will break down after about 10 minutes—which means that your nice thick sauce will become un-thick.
		The main advantages of arrowroot are that it makes very delicate sauces, and that it thickens at a lower temperature than corn starch—so it's especially good for dairy or egg-based sauces that might curdle if cooked at too high a temperature.
