Lotus Guar Gum 75g

Lotus Guar Gum 75g

Lotus Guar Gum 75g is a simple, gluten-free thickener and stabiliser that can make gluten-free baking feel less “crumbly” and sauces feel more silky — with only tiny amounts needed.

Guar gum (also known as food additive E412) is a fine plant-derived powder used to thicken, stabilise and emulsify. In practical terms, it’s handy when you want better structure in cakes, muffins, biscuits and some breads, or when you’re trying to stop dressings and sauces from splitting. Because it hydrates quickly, it works well in both sweet and savoury recipes — especially where you want a smoother texture without changing flavour.

For gluten-free baking, Lotus Guar Gum is commonly mixed through your dry ingredients alongside gluten-free flour. It can help your batter hold together more evenly and reduce that dry, sandy mouthfeel that some gluten-free mixes can get. For sauces, marinades and salad dressings, it’s best added slowly while whisking or blending to avoid clumps, then left to sit briefly so the texture can settle.

This 75g pack is ideal for home bakers who only need a small amount at a time. A little goes a long way, so it’s a smart pantry add-on if you bake gluten-free occasionally, make your own dressings, or like keeping a few “texture tools” on hand.

Sustainability & certifications: Lotus Guar Gum is a single-ingredient pantry staple and is listed as gluten free and non-GMO by many retailers. Using small amounts per recipe can also reduce food waste by improving consistency (fewer “failed batch” bakes).
