Xanthan Gum is a natural thickening agent derived from the fermentation of sugars by the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. Originally discovered in the 1960s, it has since become a staple in gluten-free cooking, helping to mimic the texture of traditional wheat-based products. Used in a variety of cuisines, from salad dressings to sauces and ice creams, Xanthan Gum not only enhances the consistency of your favorite foods but also boasts a high fiber content, promoting digestive health. However, it’s important to consume it in moderation, as excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort for some individuals.
