Xanthan gum
€ 2.50Xanthan gum is a fine powder widely used in pastry making and cooking as a thickening and stabilizing agent.
It is produced through the fermentation of sugars by a natural bacterium and helps mixtures achieve a more elastic and uniform texture.
It is commonly used:
in gluten-free desserts, because it helps bind the dough,
in creams and sauces to make them thicker,
in ice cream and mousses for a more stable texture,
in drinks or dressings to prevent ingredients from separating.
Only a very small amount is needed because it is highly effective. If too much is added, the result can become overly gelatinous.
