| Hi Johny,
indeed it is available in Safeway. that is where i bought mine. it is in a cylindrical package about 4-5 inches high and 2 inches in diameter.
The brand is McKenzies. the package is yellow and white with a couple of black stripes. you will find it in the aisle with herbs and spices and baking soda etc.
interesting note.
100 g of arrowroot has 84g of CHO (carbs).
100 g of corn starch has 87 g CHO.
100 g of plain flour has 72 g CHO.
However, you need much less arrowroot or corn starch than flour to do the same amount of "thickening". but it does look like arrowroot and corn starch are pretty much interchangeable.
