About Locust bean gum
Locust Bean Gum, also known as carob gum, is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the seeds of the carob tree, native to the Mediterranean region. It is commonly used in food production to improve texture and consistency in products like ice cream, yogurt, and baked goods. This plant-based ingredient is high in soluble fiber, which can support digestive health and slow sugar absorption, promoting steady blood glucose levels. Locust Bean Gum is low-calorie, gluten-free, and generally considered safe for consumption. It contains minimal fats or proteins but offers the benefit of adding bulk to recipes without unhealthy additives. While typically well-tolerated, excessive consumption may lead to mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. It's widely appreciated for its sustainability and versatility, making it a valuable addition to both traditional Mediterranean dishes and modern food technology applications.
