Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is a versatile food ingredient commonly used as a thickening, stabilising and binding agent in cooking and baking. It is particularly useful in gluten-free recipes, where it helps provide structure and improve the texture of baked goods.

When gluten is absent, achieving the right consistency in baking can be challenging. Xanthan Gum helps bind ingredients together, improve elasticity and prevent baked goods from becoming too crumbly or falling apart.

A little goes a long way, making it a handy pantry staple for anyone experimenting with gluten-free baking and homemade recipes.
