A natural, gluten-free emulsifier and stabiliser used as a thickener. Guar Gum is processed from the guar plant and has no other ingredients. Guar Gum is a fine off-white powder made from ground guar beans and is an economical food thickener because only a small amount is needed, unlike thickeners like cornstarch. It prevents the formation of ice crystals, is freeze-thaw stable, and gives ice cream a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. In pastry, it prevents fruit fillings from weeping and can replace wheat flour in gluten-free bread.
