Arrowroot - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Arrowroot

• Metabolic Effect: With 454mg of potassium per 100g, arrowroot acts as a powerful electrolyte regulator that fights water retention and stabilizes blood pressure. Its 2.22mg iron content boosts oxygen delivery to your cells, keeping your energy levels high throughout the day.
• Consumption Tip: I suggest my clients use this low-fat (0.2g) starch as a natural thickener for sauces to replace flour and avoid gluten. Since it is incredibly gentle on the stomach, incorporating it into light morning puddings is a great way to start the day without digestive discomfort.
• What to Watch For: Due to its 13.39g carbohydrate content, I advise those on strict low-carb diets to monitor their intake carefully to stay within their target macros. Since the fiber content is relatively low at 1.3g, you should pair it with high-fiber greens to keep your insulin levels stable.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning the 65 calories found in a 100g serving takes about 20 minutes of brisk walking or 15 minutes of light jogging. It serves as an excellent post-workout carb source to replenish glycogen stores without adding unwanted fats to your diet.
