About Guar gum
Guar gum is a natural thickening agent derived from the seeds of the guar plant, native to India and Pakistan. Commonly used in food production, it’s a key ingredient in many gluten-free recipes, serving as a stabilizer and emulsifier in products like baked goods, sauces, and ice creams. Guar gum is rich in soluble fiber, which may aid digestion, promote feelings of fullness, and help support healthy cholesterol levels. However, it is virtually calorie-free and contains minimal nutrients beyond its fiber content. While typically safe in small amounts, excessive consumption can cause digestive discomfort, such as bloating or gas, especially for sensitive individuals. Its ability to improve texture and consistency makes it a popular addition in various cuisines and processed foods, but it’s often advised to consume guar gum as part of a balanced diet.
