Now Foods - Xanthan Gum, Pure Powder - 170 grams

Xanthan gum (also known as food additive E415) is one of the most widely used natural thickening agents in the world. NOW Real Food® Xanthan Gum is 100% pure xanthan gum powder with no additives — legendary for its ability to increase liquid viscosity with just a tiny amount. It remains stable throughout a wide range of temperatures and pH, so it works equally well in cold dressings and hot oven dishes.

In sauces and dressings, xanthan gum prevents oil separation and keeps solid particles, such as spices, evenly suspended. It lends a smooth, uniform texture to many foods, which makes it a valued addition in home and professional kitchens alike. Xanthan gum is especially well known in gluten-free baking, where it is used as a binder in place of gluten — this product also carries an official gluten-free certification.

NOW Real Food® is the food brand of NOW Foods, an American family-owned company operating since 1968. The product is vegan, certified gluten-free, Kosher (Triangle K), Non-GMO, and dairy- and egg-free. Since only a quarter teaspoon is needed at a time, a 170 g jar lasts for over 200 uses.
