What it is

Guar gum is a dietary fiber derived from the ground endosperm of guar beans, which are legumes native to India and Pakistan. It is a white to yellowish powder that is soluble in water. The manufacturing process involves dehulling, grinding, and sieving the guar bean endosperm.

Why it's used

Guar gum is primarily used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in food products. It helps to improve texture, prevent ice crystal formation in frozen desserts, and bind ingredients together. It is commonly found in ice cream, baked goods, sauces, dressings, and dairy products.

Health notes

Guar gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a soluble fiber, it can contribute to digestive health by promoting regularity. Some studies suggest it may help lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels, but more research is needed. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated guar gum and established acceptable daily intakes. It is not associated with significant health controversies at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Guar gum is derived from guar beans, which are legumes. It is not one of the FDA's nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
