Hand-cut Thick Arrowroot Vermicelli 500 g

Arrowroot Vermicelli is made from the starch of the Canna edulis plant (also known locally as khoai riềng or khương vu). Historically a common crop in rural Vietnam, it is now primarily cultivated in high-altitude regions such as Dien Bien and Son La.

After a meticulous selection and harvest, the arrowroot tubers are washed, ground, and filtered to extract pure starch. Through a closed-loop production process, this starch is transformed into vermicelli strands with a signature ivory-white color.

Because it is made from pure arrowroot starch, these noodles are not only delicious but also offer various health benefits. According to traditional medicine, arrowroot has a sweet taste and "cool" properties, helping to clear heat, detoxify, and soothe the nerves. It is traditionally used to support treatment for conditions such as hepatitis, hypertension, and internal inflammation.

Arrowroot vermicelli is prized for being clear, fragrant, and clean. Notably, the strands are chewy and resilient, maintaining their texture without becoming mushy even when left in broth for a long time. This high-protein dry noodle is a favorite for many dishes, including vermicelli with pork ribs, chicken, duck, seafood, or meatballs.
