Product Description
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.

I'm trying to avoid using cornstarch or flour and still have a gravy to put on meat. I added one teaspoon to 2 cups of cream/water on medium heat until the ingredients were simmering and well mixed. It thickened more in the serving dish and became a perfect gravy. I am switching to this.

We use it to make Frappuccino. It works great! But Beware! Our recipe called for a teaspoon of the Xanthan gum. Not a good Idea. This stuff is a great thickener but a tablespoon turned my Frappuccino into bread dough. Now we use a pinch. It ought last us forever at those increments! Really great buy!

I was looking for a way to thicken my protein shakes to make them more palatable and found this to be a great alternative. I mixed the shake ingredients together with about 1/2 teaspoon of the Xanthan Gum and refrigerated it overnight. The next morning I dumped it in my blender with some frozen fruit and it was PERFECT! You can drink it slowly and it maintains the thickness even when not ice cold. When I would use crushed ice it was a race to suck it down fast enough before the consistency got too runny and the flavor was of course always watered down. This is a great alternative and the little bag will last me forever!

You do NOT need much
I bought some to thicken two containers of lotion. One was this super-duper lotion that I added white vinegar to for its astringent qualities. Works well, but it thinned it out. Read more

Bob's Is The Best
You can always rely on this brand to deliver. And when you're baking, especially gluten-free, you need consistency. Not exciting, just reliable and recommended.

Great quantity for a gluten-free necessity
I saw some products that just had too much product considering the amount in most recipes. This is just enough to fit into a 9 ounce Gerber baby bottle (sounds goofy- but they are... Read more
