Substitutions for Flour (as a thickener)

Substitutions for Flour (as thickener)
1/2 rice starch, arrowroot starch, or 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca can be substituted for 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour.

Note: Xanthan gum may also be included in this list. And I think I would say about 1/8 of a teaspoon for 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour- and maybe even less because it makes things kind of slimey. I think that Rice flour may also be used.
