West Indian Arrowroot PLANT – Obedience Plant, Bermuda Arrowroot, Araru – Maranta arundinacea
West Indian Arrowroot – Maranta arundinacea is an evergreen easy-to-grow plant. It produces white rhizomes with a pleasant nutty flavour that can be eaten raw, baked, and in stir-fries. The younger tubers are less fibrous and therefore more enjoyable. West Indian Arrowroot is the true arrowroot variety which is commercially used for arrowroot flour production. I have it growing in a few places in the food forest and harvest as required. It is not related to the QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis.
The price is for one young plant supplied in a small pot from the mother plant, naturally grown with lots of love in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven QLD Australia.
