MARKETS
Tere are a lot of markets opening up in Perth these days. However, not all deliver what they claim to do. ‘Organic and local’ are very trendy words often used to describe them, but when looking into it there is actually very little that is organic or local. My advice is that is they are quoted as organic or bio-dynamic, ask to see the certification.

True Arrowroot
Australia
Unfortunately, much of the arrowroot sold is actually tapioca flour it is NOT the same thing. Arrowroot is a superior, easily digested, mineral rich starch/flour. Whilst Tapioca flour can be used for thickening and baking, the result is not as good or as nutrient dense and their behaviour is quite different. The Gluten Free Company makes one called Organic Arrowroot Starch sometimes, Bobs Red Mill (see below). You can buy the Gluten Free Company brand from a number of sources online, including
