guar gum

Guar gum is a plant-derived powder made from the ground seeds of the guar bean. Listings describe it as being derived from guar beans or made from ground guar seeds.

Guar gum is used as a thickener, stabilizer and binder to improve texture and consistency in sauces, soups, ice cream and baked goods.

Listings describe guar gum as a plant-based source of fiber. One nutrition panel lists a 3.2 g serving with 20 calories and 3 g of fiber; other descriptions similarly call it a fiber or plant-based ingredient.

One product description states that guar gum has eight times the thickening power of cornstarch and highlights it as an effective all-purpose thickener.

Listings include claims such as USDA Organic, Non-GMO, Gluten Free and Certified Vegan; other descriptions note Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification and third-party testing.

Guar gum is offered as a capsule supplement in the listings. Each capsule delivers 400 mg of guar gum, and one shown package is a 60-count bottle.

Powdered forms are labeled as the ingredient or 'powder' and presented for cooking use, while supplement listings are labeled as capsules and show package counts (e.g., 60-count).
