10 Oz Guar Gum Gluten Free

100% Pure All Natural Guar gum powder is a thickening agent derived from guar beans that has enjoyed much use in various baking applications. It is primarily used in hypoallergenic recipes that use different types of whole grain flours. Because the consistency of these flours allows the escape of gas released by leavening, guar gum is needed to improve the thickness of these flours, allowing them to rise as normal flour would. It is especially useful as a binder in gluten-free baking. We use this Guar Gum in all our Fresh baked bread products here at Gluten Free You and Me Guar Gum is also an excellent all-purpose thickener for salad dressings, ice creams, puddings, gravies, sauces, 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.

Cake, muffin,quick bread,cookie, and bar recipes: Add 1 teaspoon guar gum per one cup of gluten-free flour Suggestion: Multiply the amount of xanthan gum in a recipe by 2 if you plan to use guar gum as a substitute for Xanthan Gum.
