Arrowroot takes its name from the Native American name, Araruta (flour root), for Maranta arundinacea. Maranta is a perennial herb that grows 2 - 6 ft tall, with branching stems, broad pointed leaves and small white flowers. To make arrowroot, the fleshy roots of year old plants are dug up, washed, peeled, crushed between rollers, and strained through a sieve. The pulp is washed repeatedly and the sediment is dried and reduced to a white powder.
