Guar Gum - Thickener Food Additive for Better Texture in Gluten-Free Baked Goods - Certified Kosher 14-Oz

Guar gum is used as a thickening agent in sauces, dairy products, and bakery products. It is very easy to mix as it is readily soluble in both hot and cold water. One only needs a small quantity to produce a sufficient thickener. Guar gum powder is an all-natural, organic ingredient derived from guar beans use for a variety of baking applications. Guar gum improves thickness in a variety of whole-grain flours as it allows the escape of gas released by leavening, allowing doughs to rise as normal wheat flour would. Guar Gum is also an excellent all-purpose thickener for salad dressings, ice creams, puddings, gravies, sauces, cocktail sauce, soups and more. Directions: Like xanthan gum, measure carefully when using guar gum in gluten-free recipes or you may end up with heavy, stringy baked goods. Bread and pizza dough recipes: Add 2 teaspoons guar gum per cup of gluten-free flour. For the cake, muffin, quick bread, cookie, and bar recipes: Add 1 teaspoon guar gum per one cup of gluten-free flour. You can use it as a substitute for xanthan gum in a recipe by multiplying the amount of xanthan gum by 2. This product is certified Kosher (Pareve) by OK Kosher
