Shipping & Returns
WHEN ORDERING FROM OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA
Condition of sale: Please note all sales made to addresses outside Australia are final and that international parcels cannot be left at the door.  Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel or it must be collected from your local post office within 7 days of attempted delivery.


It is common and unfortunate that the postman will not always leave a note for collection so it is imperative that customers regularly monitor the tracking number provided via email. If items are not collected from your local post office within 7 days they will be returned to us in Australia.


Please know that we do everything humanly possible to ensure that orders are express shipped on the day they are received, and we pay a small fortune to provide free express shipping for orders above $249AUD. For this reason, if a customer does not collect from the post office in time, it is their responsibility to pay for shipping if they wish for us to re-post (once the items are returned to us).

What is it?

Arrowroot powder is derived from the rhizomes of the Arrowroot plant, scientifically named Maranta arundinacea. It originated with aborigines of West Indies and with the Arawak Tribe to cure arrow poisoning. This is how the name arrowroot was coined.

It gives dishes that jell-like consistency like pie, pudding, and gravies or sauces. Unlike many starches, arrowroot turns clear as it sets and will not disrupt the color of dishes it is included in.

It is less likely to burn because it works under low temperatures and can tolerate acidic ingredients or prolonged cooking. Freezing does not distress the solidified mixture formed using arrowroot powder. However, it does not blend well when integrated with dairy products as it produces a slimy mixture.

Arrowroot powder is a great alternative to wheat flour in baking. Arrowroot, lacking in essential proteins, is basically pure carbohydrates. Being gluten-free, makes it digestible food well fitted for infants or elderly people with irregular bowel movements. It is the only starch with calcium ash, which contains compounds important for the proper maintenance of acid and alkali balances in the human body.

Arrowroot provides minimal protein so it is widely used by vegetarians and people with special food requirements. It is specifically used as an article of diet in the form of biscuits, pudding, jellies, and cakes.
