Now Foods Guar Gum Powder 8oz
Guar Gum, also known as Guaran is made from a legume called guar beans. Guar Gum is a common ingredient in many foods and sauces and is well known for its ability to stabilize food products, Guar Gum may have some health benefits such as providing fiber to help with regularity and digestive comfort and potentially helping to lower blood sugar. Guar Gum is commonly used when baking with whole grain flours which typically don't rise due to their lack of gluten, so guar gum is added.
