Versatile Ingredient

This xanthan gum will add high-rising volume and thickness to your gluten-free breads and baked goods to achieve a perfect, soft texture that is satisfying to allergen and non-allergen customers alike. You can even use it for adding substance to your low- or zero-fat dairy products, such as yogurt and ice cream. Plus, adding it to your signature ice cream, frozen yogurt, or sherbet will help prevent ice crystals from forming, allowing customers to enjoy the smooth creaminess of your sweet treats!

Subtle Addition

Thanks to its white coloring, it will not alter the color of your recipes. Plus, since it doesn't add any additional flavors or odors, you can be confident that this xanthan gum will preserve the true flavor of your time-honored recipes.

Plant-Based

Xanthan gum is a non-hazardous additive that is made from the outer layer of a plant-based bacteria, xanthomonas campestris, during the fermentation process of carbohydrates. It then forms a solid and ground into a fine powder that can be added to liquids to form a gum!

product quality was excellent. The only concern is the lack of labeling on the packaging. Shipping box was the only location on which the product was labeled and this was covered by the postage labeling. The inner packaging (plastic) bag, had no labeling. This is a potential issue for safety and cross-contamination; attaching a product label to the inner packaging would be a very valuable improvement in assuring product identification and proper history, amount, dating and source.

They changed something or brand of xanthan gum. I have been using this for the past 5 years and everything baked perfectly. Now everything is coming out wrong. My batters are stringy, chic chip cookies are puffing up like a cake cookie. Not happy it's expensive to have to throw everything out.

Thank you for your review, Jennifer! We are sorry this product has not worked well for you. A Customer Solutions Representative will contact you soon!

We have been using Bobs Red Mill xanthan gum, but they no longer carry it. We switched to this and it has been great, up until our last order. Our items have been coming out strange. The doughs are stringy and everything is puffier than it usually is. Which is ok for certain items, but not for most. Please go back to Bobs Red Mill brand.

The first batch I ordered from this brand was ideal, not powdery like dust. The second batch that I ordered came and that is what it was--dust. It makes a huge mess, and my products are coming out gooey! This brand of xanthan gum has been VERY INCONSISTENT--it hasn't been subtle differences either, just so different that I was even questioning whether it was actually xanthan gum because I've never used any like this recent batch I received.

The item was missing from the package that it was suppose to arrive in. I'm starting to think that I made a poor choice in ordering from Webstaurant.

We use this ingredient in our smoothies to help make them thicker. It works perfect and is natural. The price is way better than in the grocery stores.

Xantham Gum works perfectly as a thickener for our sauces. Great use in baking for dough and batters. Gluten free, btw!

I use Xanthan Gum in almost every recipe I do (Gluten Free Bakery) this by far is the very best I have ever used. It only takes a very little bit to do the job. No need to add more!

I use this xanthan gum when making gluten-free tortillas. It works as a great stabilizer for baking almond flour tortillas as well as other baked goods.

We use this product to thicken smoothies and our house made frappe base. Be careful, a little goes a long way. We use 1/4 teaspoon per 2 liters of frappe base. We'll probably end up throwing away most of this when it expires and will likely look into a smaller quantity. Removed 1 star because would like to see better packaging.

Great price. Comes in a thin plastic sack so needs a storage tub or jar. For the price, definitely worth it. I bake a lot of gluten free items, so this helps a lot.

Finding bulk xanthan gum is not easy. We use it in our keto baking to help add thickness. This product is great in bulk. Stores well and has no funny aftertaste.

This has been the best price that we've been able to source for xanthan gum over multiple companies. We use a lot in some vegan dessert making and it's a great product.
