Xanthan gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the fermentation of simple sugars by the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. Commonly used in both home kitchens and food manufacturing, it originates from modern food science rather than traditional cuisines. Xanthan gum is prized for its ability to enhance the texture and consistency of foods such as sauces, dressings, gluten-free baked goods, and smoothies. While it is generally considered safe, consuming high amounts may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. It has no significant nutritional value but is low in calories and often used in minimal quantities. As a gluten substitute, xanthan gum is especially useful in gluten-free diets, providing elasticity and structure to baked goods. It is versatile, vegan-friendly, and free from allergens, making it suitable for a variety of dietary preferences. Always check product labels to ensure it meets individual dietary needs.
