Xanthan Gum 4.8 5 3 4
Great for Low Carbers Takes the place of corn starch and flour when you thicken pudding and gravies. For those on a low carb diet it is a miracle and an asset to any kitchen. Swanson always has the lowest price available for Xanthan Gum as well. Great Product and a regular staple in our kitchen. March 14, 2012
Great Price Because I am trying to cook with gluten free products, many of the recipes call for xanthan gum. This is a quality product for a great price! January 6, 2012
Xanthan gum is incredibly useful in cooking People are scared off by the weird name, but this is just a soluble fiber that holds a lot of water and so thickens things up. Xanthan is the only common gum that has a "shear thinning" property, so that it essentially gels up when not being stirred, but then is liquid enough to pour and to release flavor in your mouth when it is agitated. Guar gum and other food gums just thicken and so they make things seem slimy. Soup too thin? Want an oil and vinegar salad dressing that doesn't separate? Want the poppy seeds to not settle out of that dressing? Want your homemade ice cream to be smoother? Xanthan gum does it all. It is incredibly potent, essentially flavorless, and provides a little fiber. I only docked it one star on convenience because it can clump up when you add it to liquid, and there are xanthan gums (hard to find, though) that don't clump up as much. To prevent the clumping, just pre-mix with another dry ingredient. June 6, 2011
