guar gum powder

Guar gum powder is made by grinding the seeds of the guar bean.

Guar gum is typically sold as a fine powdered ingredient.

Guar gum is used to thicken and stabilize many foods, including soups, sauces, smoothies, ice cream, puddings, gravies, dressings, and gluten‑free baked goods.

Guar gum is described as having about eight times the thickening power of cornstarch.

Labeling varies by product, but some items list “Suggested Age” as either “All Ages” or “Adult” and may include a warning like “Product Warning: Adult Use Only.”

In gluten‑free baking, guar gum improves texture and mouthfeel by thickening, stabilizing, and acting as a binder.
