BOBS RED MILL: Xanthan Gum, 8 oz

Description

Xanthan Gum is a plant-based thickening and stabilizing agent. It is named for the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris, which plays a crucial role in this description. Technically speaking, xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, which is just a fancy way to say “a string of multiple sugars.” To create xanthan gum, the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium is allowed to ferment on sugar. The result is a gel that is then dried and milled to create the powder substance.
Bob’s Red Mill Xanthan Gum is an essential ingredient for gluten-free baking. It acts as an emulsifier and a binder and adds volume to gluten-free bread, cookies, cakes, and other baked goods.
