So, what is amidon de lé?
Amidon de lé, also known as arrowroot starch, is a gluten-free, white, odorless powder derived from the rhizomes of the arrowroot plant. It is a popular thickening agent used in many cuisines, including Caribbean, Indian, and Southeast Asian. Unlike cornstarch, arrowroot starch thickens at a lower temperature and produces a clearer, glossier finish, making it ideal for delicate sauces, custards, and puddings. It is also a versatile ingredient in baking, providing a light and tender texture to cakes, cookies, and bread. Additionally, it is a great alternative to wheat flour for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
