Nature’s Way of Providing Good Health with Arrowroot Powder

The cylindrical-shaped tubers after being harvested, washed, and cleaned are reduced to a pulp which is then washed several times with water and allowed to settle until the product becomes pure white. The sediment is sundried till it becomes hard like a cake which is then ground to a powder.
