Lotus Organic Guar Gum 75g

Lotus Organic Guar Gum 75g is a recipe ingredient for thickening, stabilising and binding in cooking and gluten-free baking. It suits bakers who follow recipes that use guar gum with a flour blend, particularly for breads, cakes, biscuits and muffins.

Guar gum performs a different task from flour: it helps build the texture of a mixture rather than providing the main bulk. A small pack makes sense for a specialist baking ingredient that is added in measured amounts. Select guar gum when the recipe names it, rather than assuming all gums behave identically.

A recipe written for guar gum gives the best starting point for the texture you want. Gather the flour blend, liquid and other ingredients before measuring the gum, and follow the specified mixing order. Bread, cake, biscuit and muffin mixtures can have different consistency requirements, so one amount should not be applied to every recipe. It is also useful to distinguish guar gum from xanthan gum when choosing a binder. Keep the gum in a clearly identified pack and use a dry measure. That makes it easier to repeat the recipe accurately and understand which ingredient is responsible for its structure.

The 75g pack is convenient for keeping beside gluten-free flour blends and other baking aids. Plan the recipe first, then measure the gum as directed so you can judge the finished texture against the intended result.

Keep the organic guar gum in a cool, dry place, with the pack closed between uses. Use a clean, dry measure when taking the amount for a recipe, and keep dry ingredients separate from prepared food. Retain the ingredient and allergen information with the pack when cooking for someone with a specific dietary requirement.
