Arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants, traditionally Maranta arundinacea, but also Florida arrowroot from Zamia integrifolia, and tapioca from cassava (Manihot esculenta), which is often labeled arrowroot.
In the Andes, the rhizome can be harvested within 6 months from planting out and the yields ranges 13–85 tonnes per hectare, with 22–50 tonnes being average, though larger yields are obtained after 8–10 months. In Queensland, Australia, they are able to obtain a yield of 5–10 tons of C. 'Queensland Arrowroot' tubers per acre. [3]

For the latter type of uses, it is an alternative to the product Olestra.
Unlike rice milk, though, its texture is also like dairy milk, so it can be used almost interchangeably in a one-to-one ratio, as long as it’s plain and unsweetened. 11. Oat Milk
