What it is

Guar gum is a soluble fiber derived from the ground seeds of the guar plant, native to India and Pakistan. It is a white to yellowish powder that dissolves in water to form a gel.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add guar gum to foods as a thickener and stabilizer. It helps improve texture, prevent ice crystals in frozen desserts, and keep ingredients from separating in products like sauces and dressings.

Health notes

Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a soluble fiber, it can aid digestion and may help with feelings of fullness. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated guar gum. Some studies suggest it may help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, but more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Allergen info

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