Arrowroot is supposed to have a much less noticable taste than
cornstarch (especially since cornflour/cornstarch is often made out of
finely ground WHEAT flour nowadays instead of being made from corn.)
Wheaten cornflour tastes like raw flour unless it is thoroughly
cooked. Arrowroot is supposed to not have that raw taste, making it
usable for stuff that isn't cooked as much. We've got some but I've
never actually tried it - that's just what I was told when I was
learning to cook!
