NOW Foods Xanthan Gum, Pure Powder

NOW Foods Xanthan Gum, Pure Powder is a natural thickener for home cooking and baking. A very small amount thickens liquids noticeably, so a single pack lasts a long time in the kitchen cupboard.

Key features

• Pure xanthan gum powder with nothing else added
• Thickens sauces, gravies and dressings with only a pinch
• Keeps working across a wide range of temperatures and acidity levels
• Helps stop oil and vinegar from separating in dressings
• Holds herbs and spices evenly through a sauce instead of letting them sink
• Gives a smooth texture to many recipes

Xanthan gum is a favourite with gluten-free bakers, who use it to add structure to doughs and batters that lack wheat. Start with a small quantity and add more gradually, because it is easy to over-thicken.

Available in a 170g pack.
