Organic Arrowroot Tapioca Powder is obtained from the root of the cassava (Manihot esculenta) plant which is also known as Brazilian arrowroot, and yucca. The plant was given the name “Arrowroot” because it was once used to treat those injured with wounds from poison arrows. The Native Caribbean Arawak people made arrowroot a foundation of their diet and valued it for its amazing healing benefits (i.e., it would draw out the poison from wounds).
