What it is
Guar gum is a fiber derived from the guar bean, a legume grown primarily in India and Pakistan. It is processed into a powder that dissolves in water to form a gel.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use guar gum as a thickener and stabilizer in foods like ice cream, yogurt, and sauces. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating.
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. JECFA has evaluated guar gum and established an acceptable daily intake. Some people may experience gas or bloating if they consume large amounts.
Allergen info
Guar gum is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
