Arrowroot Flour (Ararot) by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 20 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 2 tablespoons | 20 g | 71 kcal | 0.1 g | 17.0 g | 0.0 g | 0.7 g |
| 2 × 2 tablespoons | 40 g | 143 kcal | 0.1 g | 33.9 g | 0.0 g | 1.4 g |
| 3 × 2 tablespoons | 60 g | 214 kcal | 0.2 g | 50.9 g | 0.1 g | 2.0 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 357 kcal | 0.3 g | 84.8 g | 0.1 g | 3.4 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.

Read this with it: Not in IFCT 2017. Fibre has been subtracted from USDA's carbohydrate-by-difference to give available carbohydrate.
How arrowroot flour (ararot) is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 2 tablespoons, taken as 20 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (FDC ID 170684, Arrowroot flour), and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 357 kcal/100 g × (20 g ÷ 100) = 71 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 11 entries in vrat flours & grains on this site, arrowroot flour (ararot) ranks 4 of 11 for energy density at 357 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 0% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why ਵਰਤ ਦੌਰਾਨ ਪ੍ਰੋਟੀਨ is the guide people need most.
It is energy-dense enough that a small portion carries a lot, which is easy to miss when it is eaten by the handful through a fasting day.
ਸਵਾਲ
Is arrowroot flour (ararot) eaten during a vrat?
It depends on the household. Some families include arrowroot flour (ararot) on a phalahar vrat and others set it aside, and the reasoning is a matter of family practice and sampradaya rather than nutrition. Follow your own.
How many calories are in 2 tablespoons of arrowroot flour (ararot)?
About 71 kcal for 2 tablespoons, taken as 20 g (used as a thickener; pure starch, no protein worth counting). That is 0.1 g protein, 17.0 g carbohydrate and 0.0 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 357 kcal.
Is arrowroot flour (ararot) filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 0% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is moderate at 3.4 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance. Fasting is not safe for everyone, particularly during pregnancy or with diabetes or other conditions. Speak to a doctor first.
