While its name suggests that xanthan gum is some kind of science experiment or exotic ingredient, it's actually entirely natural. It's a hydrocolloid (a substance that forms a gel in water) polysaccharide - or complex carbohydrate - which is fermented from the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. A flavourless, light tan powder that is very versatile. Gluten-free cake lovers, rejoice! Xanthan gum is here to help your cakes and breads rise to the occasion. This gluten-free ingredient gives dough elasticity and acts as a binder. In small quantities, xanthan gum is perfectly safe to consume. If you ingest more than 15 grams per day you may experience some intestinal discomfort similar to eating too much fruit.FeaturesNature First Xanthan Gum is sourced from China and is packed in Australia. It comes in a 100gm re-sealable oxygen barrier bag to preserve freshness.BenefitsIt mimics the properties of gluten due to its 'gummy' texture, hence the name. Furthermore it has the ability to stabilize and thicken other ingredients while still allowing them to flow freely. Xanthan is a soluble fibre and therefore able to slow down both digestion and the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream. It also increases satiety and can be used to reduce calorie intake when used to thicken and emulsify low fat dressing, sauces and soups. Interestingly it has been found to help with treating dry mouth, as a laxative due to its water binding properties and to help those who may be experiencing difficulty swallowing due to dysohagia. But, it is most commonly simply used in gluten free baking.
