Description
- In foods and beverages, guar gum is used as a thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and binding agent.
- Guar gum is a fiber that normalizes the moisture content of the stool, absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea, and softening the stool in constipation. It also might help decrease the amount of cholesterol and glucose that is absorbed in the stomach and intestines. There is some interest in using guar gum for weight loss because it expands in the intestine, causing a sense of fullness. This may decrease appetite.
- Guar Gum is very versatile and there is a different amount required for each type of recipe. For example, for bread and pizza dough recipes, one teaspoon of guar gum powder per cup of gluten-free flour should be added for best results. For cakes, biscuits or muffins, use half a teaspoon per cup.

"Weird"s guar gum has eight times the thickening power of cornstarch. It aids in thickening batter; prevents ingredients from separating and traps air within the mix, which ultimately forces the batter to rise during the course of the baking process. "Weird"s Guar gum is widely used in food manufacturing as as an additive that forms a gel, which is used to thicken and bind foods. Its high in soluble fiber and low in calories, and the advantage of using guar gum powder is that it is odorless, easily soluble in cold water and is free-flowing. To ensure the fullness and chewiness of breads, recipes will require up to a tablespoon of guar gum powder for every cup of gluten-free flour. In other baked goods, such as cookies, biscuits and some quick breads, as little as 1/4 teaspoon will suffice. When using guar gum in place of flour, bakers should measure out a sixteenth of the stated requirement. For example, if a recipe calls for a cup flower, only one tablespoon of guar will be required. It is generally recommended to use heat to get the best thickening results. To avoid clumping when it is added to a liquid for best effects, sprinkle guar amounts over the liquid and whisk vigorously.
