Bob's Red Mill Premium Quality Xanthan Gum -- 8 oz

Bob's Red Mill Premium Quality Xanthan Gum -- 8 oz

Xanthan Gum is made from the outer layer of a tiny, inactive bacterium called Xanthomonas campestris. It is an excellent all purpose thickener for dressings, gravies and sauces. It's unique ability to hold small particles of food together makes it the ideal substitute for gluten in gluten-free baking. Most recipes call for only 1 or 2 teaspoons, so it goes a long way.

"My xanthan gum arrived in perfect order and I have been extemely pleased with this product. I am on a low carb lifestyle and this product is perfect for thickening any type of sauce or soup. A little bit goes a long way. Always start out with half the amount your recipe calls for -or- if you are winging it use just a pinch. I also store mine in the freezer and use it directly from there. It does not become frozen just makes it last a long long time."

Xanthan Gum makes great shakes, September 28, 2008
By BobD

"Bob's Red Mill Premium Quality Xanthan thickens up protein shakes much better than protein powder or ice. It also seems to help the shake slide out of the blender easier."
