What it is

Guar gum is a dietary fiber made from guar beans, which are legumes grown in India and Pakistan. The beans are dehusked, milled, and sifted to produce a fine, off-white powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add guar gum to foods as a thickener and stabilizer. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating, especially in dairy products, baked goods, and sauces.

Health notes

Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a soluble fiber that can help promote feelings of fullness and may support digestive health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated guar gum. Some studies suggest it may help manage blood sugar and cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Guar gum is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
