What it is

Organic Tara Gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the ground seeds of the tara plant, a legume native to South America. It is produced by milling the tara bean endosperm into a fine powder. It is considered organic when grown and processed without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic tara gum as a stabilizer, thickener, and emulsifier in a variety of food products. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating. Common applications include dairy products, dressings, sauces, baked goods, and beverages.

Health notes

Organic tara gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may aid digestion. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tara gum, and it is permitted for use in many countries. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Tara gum is derived from the tara bean, which is a legume. While not one of the FDA's nine major allergens, individuals with severe legume allergies should exercise caution. It does not contain gluten.
