At the foot of the Margosiers loop trail, Thierry Vitry took over the family farm twelve years ago and works with turmeric, ginger, arrowroot, and raises organic poultry.
It is probably because this rhizome is arrow-shaped that it is called that way, translate "arrow root" in French.
After having crushed the rhizome, Thierry Vitry passes to the stage of the kneading in water then of the drying to finally transform the product into powder and to obtain the arrow-root.
