It is very common for Tapioca Starch to be referred to as Ground Arrowroot as it is derived from the same plant - cassava (Manihot esculenta). For more details on this, please see http://www.britannica.com/plant/arrowroot

The product title is Ground Arrowroot as this is what is commonly used in recipes and how it would be listed in the ingredient list of a recipe. They both perform the same but the actual product is Tapioca starch which is why it is declared as such on the ingredient list.

We do not use alcohol as an ingredient or in our production process.

We use a hydro-alcoholic solvent for the vanilla beans maceration; however we evaporate the ethyl alcohol. From this we obtain a vanilla concentrate which is diluted on invert sugar. We are unable to guarantee that there will be no residual alcohol in the finished product. The amount of alcohol in the finished product may vary, but can be approximately 0.5% or less, as the alcohol evaporates during the production process.
