Guar Gum Guar gum is a galactomannan fibre that is extracted from ground guar beans (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). It is an excellent binding and stabilizing agent for use in products requiring combining substances that normally don’t mix. Guar gum is more easily dissolved in water than locust bean gum, and although it requires calcium for it to form a gel. This resulting gel is used for a variety of functions in manufacturing and in food processing as a thickener and stabilizing agent. https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/supplements/guar-gum/ #guargum
