Guar Gum

What is Guar Gum?

Guar gum is a natural thickening agent and stabilizer derived from guar beans.

Guar gum is often included in gluten-free products, such as bread, cakes, and cookies. It helps mimic the texture and elasticity of gluten in traditional baked goods.

It is also utilized in the pet food industry as a thickening and binding agent.
