Guar Gum Powder

Description

Latin Name : Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba

Origin Country: India

Also known as guaran, guar gum is made from legumes called guar beans.

It’s a type of polysaccharide, or long chain of carbohydrate molecules bonded together, and composed of two sugars called mannose and galactose.

Guar gum is frequently used as a food additive in many processed foods.

It’s especially useful in food manufacturing because it’s soluble and able to absorb water, forming a gel that can thicken and bind products.

In terms of nutrition, guar gum is low in calories but high in soluble fiber. One tablespoon (10 grams) provides just 30 calories and 9 grams of fiber.

Add up the amounts of liquid used in the recipe. Convert this total to quarts; 1 quart equals 4 cups, 1 cup equals 16 tbsp. and 1 tbsp. equals 3 tsp.

Side effects include increased gas production, diarrhea, and loose stools. These side effects usually decrease or disappear after several days of use. High doses of guar gum or not drinking enough fluid with the dose of guar gum can cause blockage of the esophagus and the intestines.
