Arrowroot tends to be a bit more expensive than tapioca and around where I live I can buy tapioca in bulk directly from the local 'health food store'. And since neither are from grain sources using either sticks with the grain-free mode! schpinkle </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder-1#post-548 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 08:33:13 +0000 Nurseco 548@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I just made the Gluten-free bread 2.0. I didn't have arrowroot so I substituted tapioca flour. Came out just delightful. Is this an acceptable swap? Anything particularly better about arrowroot? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder-1#post-238 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:25:50 +0000 elana 238@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Rosie,</p> <p>IMHO, coconut flour and almond flour are the tastiest, healthiest gluten-free flours. I'm not one to count calories or worry about fats (especially good fats), however, I do understand your concerns as no matter how healthy a food is, if overeaten, ill health will result.</p> <p>Take Care,<br /> Elana </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder-1#post-237 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 10:41:17 +0000 Rosie 237@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Thank you, Elana...When I went to the site the description start with "Arrowroot flour, ....." so I will assume it is the same.<br /> Also, I went ahead and made the sandwich bread with the arrowroot flour I had, and it came out delicious!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your yummy recipes.<br /> Elana,can you explain to me, again, why you have chosen to use coconut and almond flours? I know you have many allergies, besides, gluten. But these flours are higher in fat...although a good fat...and I can't stop at one or two pieces...so I am concerned about the fat and calories. Can you "ease" my mind??:&gt;<br /> ro </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/arrowroot-powder-1#post-236 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:48:56 +0000 elana 236@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Rosie,</p> <p>I use arrowroot powder that I purchase from this website:</p> <p><a href="http://www.morethanalive.com/Arrowroot-powder" rel="nofollow">http://www.morethanalive.com/Arrowroot-powder</a></p> <p>I think arrowroot flour is the same thing, however, I'm not certain.
