Ingredients

When we eat our favorite foods, we often indulge in the incredible flavors and delicate textures, but pay little attention to the ingredients that make them possible.

Guar Gum is one such iingredient that helps make our favorite foods work.

Guar Gum is created from ground seeds of the Guar bean, and it is useful across many culinary applications. Guar Gum works to increase dough yield and enhance texture in baked goods, it works as an excellent binding agent in meat products, in dairy items Guar Gum can work as a thickener, not to mention the benefit it has on the appearance of condiments.
