Guar Gum - Thickener Food Additive for Better Texture in Gluten-Free Baked Goods - Certified Kosher 8-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 cake, muffin, quick bread, cookie, and bar recipes: Add 1 teaspoon guar gum per one cup of gluten-free flour. You can use 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
