Product Description
Product Description
It may sound like a name from a cheesy sci-fi movie, but Xanthan Gum is actually a widely-used thickening agent. In fact, Xanthan is legendary for its ability to increase liquid viscosity with just a tiny amount, and is stable throughout a wide range of temperatures and pH. With Xanthan Gum, a little goes a long way. NOW Real Food Xanthan Gum is an excellent addition to your favorite sauces and dressings due to its ability to prevent oil separation and to keep solid particles, such as spices, suspended. It lends a smooth texture to many foods, making it a desirable addition to recipes.

Amazing stuff
Quickly then, Xanthan Gum is a thickener and a stabilizer. While it acts like an emulsifier, it apparently is not. In VERY SMALL quantities it acts to thicken solutions--providing smooth and even textures, increasing the ability to hold non-solution ingredients stable and prevent them from separating from the solution. It can be used in a variety of different ways...different temperatures and different levels of acidity (PH levels..). It is similar in some ways to Guar Gum (see: Now Foods Guar Gum Powder, 8 oz ( Multi-Pack) ). Probably one of the most common uses today in store bought products is for adding stability to bottled salad dressings. I currently have four different dressings in the house (from three different manufacturers..)and all of them contain Xanthan Gum. Ever wonder why those little grains of mustard or pieces of spice or herbs don't settle out of your salad dressing..??? Uh huh, that's right.....
So, why do I like it?? Especially since there are many different products out there that effectively thicken. Well, there are three real reasons. First, when used appropriately, there is absolutely no taste. That means no starchy aftertaste like when you add flour or cornstarch to gravy or sauces. I know, I know, you can "cook out" the starchy taste (for the most part..). The second reason is there is no appreciable glycemic load. Look at the nutrition label...For a single serving of 1/2 tsp. (1.6g) there is 1g of carbohydrate...that seems like a high percentage, about 62.5%.....BUT you use such small amounts of Xanthan Gum there is no appreciable glycemic load when compared to daily carbohydrate intake....It is just a non-issue. And third, Xanthan Gum is gluten free. It is frequently used to bind with gluten free flours and products...to take the place of gluten where it is normally required for successful recipes. There is a fourth reason too. I don't think anything else is quite as effective for stabilizing and holding suspensions (like home-made salad dressings or other vinegar/water and oil mixtures). I make a lot of dressings and sauces so I will keep it around just for those reasons........but after reading more about it, there are a LOT of uses for Xanthan Gum that I will never get around to. I am sure some of you will find creative uses for it as well.
I feel certain that most of the different sources for Xanthan Gum are fine. I chose NOW Real Foods version because I am familiar with their product line. I like their support for natural products and I like them because they are a family owned and operated business. Quoted from their source..."Keep it natural. Keep it real."
That is good enough for me!!
Although the bottle appears 1/2 empty, it stills weighs the correct amount. The size of the bottle does not take away from the amount it says on the bottle. I bought 6oz/107g and received just over those amounts. Weight it if you think it's less than what you purchased. I like the big bottle, it keeps the dust from flying up when opening the cap.
Will purchase more in the future.
