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.

That's great Joel, we have a Safeway only 5 minutes away in the next township otherwise it's a 20 minute drive to get to Coles or any health shops, thanks very much for the perfect description to look for and the carb amounts info as well.
many thanks
Johny
