Arrowroot Flour (Ararot) is a naturally gluten-free starch extracted from the rhizomes of the Maranta arundinacea plant, primarily used as a clean-label thickener and binding agent in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries worldwide.
Sourcing & Origin
Treedha's Arrowroot Flour, known in trade as Ararot, Arrowroot starch, Paniphal, or Marante (derived from Maranta arundinacea), originates from the verdant Malabar region of Kerala, India. We source from the districts of Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad, Kannur, and Kasaragod, renowned for their ideal climate and fertile soils.
The specific origin in Kerala is crucial for bulk buyers seeking consistent quality and provenance. The traditional cultivation practices and the region's clean environment contribute to the purity and neutral profile of our arrowroot starch, a key differentiator for formulators relying on consistent ingredient performance. Our process involves washing, pulping, wet-extraction, settling, and careful drying and milling of the rhizomes.
Export Grades & Specifications
Our Arrowroot Flour is supplied as food-grade pure starch, appearing as a fine white powder. Importers can expect a product that is 100% pure arrowroot, free from additives or fillers, ensuring optimal performance in various applications.
While specific volatile oil percentages are not applicable for pure starch, key specifications for bulk trade include low ash and fat content, guaranteed gluten-free status, and meticulous lab testing. The fine granulation and smooth texture are critical for its use as a thickening and binding agent without altering the food's flavour or appearance. Our product is designed for a minimum shelf life of 24 months when stored ambiently.

Quality, Safety & Compliance
Ensuring the highest standards of quality and safety, Treedha's Arrowroot Flour undergoes rigorous processing. We employ steam sterilisation to eliminate microbial contaminants and strictly ensure our product is ethylene-oxide-free (ETO-free), a critical compliance point for exports to markets like the EU, where ETO is a prohibited carcinogen.
Our commitment to food safety extends to comprehensive lab testing for contaminants. We verify compliance with stringent EU and US regulations regarding Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for pesticides, aflatoxins/mycotoxins, and heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and nickel, as outlined in EU Regulation (EU) 2023/915. Additionally, we confirm the absence of Sudan dyes (I, II, III, and IV), which are strictly prohibited in food products in both the EU and US. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a Phytosanitary Certificate, attesting to its purity and freedom from pests.
Global Demand & Target Markets
The global market for Arrowroot Flour (Ararot) is experiencing robust growth, primarily driven by a significant shift towards clean-label, gluten-free, and plant-based food systems. North America and Western Europe lead overall demand, with key markets including the United States, Canada, the UK, and Germany, where health and wellness trends are prominent drivers.
Emerging markets such as China and Brazil also show strong growth, fueled by increasing consumer awareness and the expansion of specialty food retail. The versatility of arrowroot as a natural thickener, binder, and stabiliser makes it indispensable across diverse applications in food and beverages (e.g., gluten-free baking, baby food), pharmaceuticals (as an excipient), and cosmetics (as a natural absorbent). The US FDA's mandate for gluten-free foods to contain 20 ppm or less gluten further stimulates demand for naturally gluten-free starches like arrowroot.

For international trade, Arrowroot Flour (Ararot) is primarily classified under HS code 1108.19.10, specifically for "Arrowroot starch." Buyers may also encounter codes such as 0714.90.90 ("Arrowroot Powder") or 0714.90.20 ("arrowroot, salep and similar roots and tubers with high starch content") in Indian export data, which cover processed starch forms.

Preguntas
- ¿Es el ararot lo mismo que la harina de arrurruz?
- Sí. Ararot es el nombre indio del arrurruz, el almidón puro extraído del rizoma de Maranta arundinacea. A veces también se le llama harina de paniphal. La harina de arrurruz y el almidón de arrurruz son el mismo producto.
- ¿Cómo lo uso como espesante?
- Mezcla el arrurruz con un poco de agua fría para formar una pasta, y luego incorpóralo al líquido caliente cerca del final de la cocción. Espesa a una temperatura más baja que la harina y da un acabado transparente y brillante, así que evita la ebullición prolongada.
- ¿Puede sustituir a la harina o al almidón de maíz?
- Sí. Usa aproximadamente dos cucharaditas de arrurruz por cada cucharada de harina de maíz. Es sin cereales y da un cuajado más transparente, aunque es mejor añadirlo al final y no hervirlo con fuerza ni mantenerlo demasiado tiempo.
