What it is

Guar gum is a fiber derived from the ground seeds of the guar plant, native to India and Pakistan. It is a white to yellowish powder that is soluble in water. It is produced by dehulling, grinding, and sieving the guar bean.

Why it's used

Guar gum is a common food additive used as a thickener and stabilizer. It helps to improve the texture and consistency of foods like ice cream, yogurt, and sauces. It is often found in dairy products, baked goods, and salad dressings.

Health notes

Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may help with digestion and blood sugar control. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated guar gum and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies suggest it may help with weight management by promoting fullness, but more research is needed.

Allergen info

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