Guar Gum

Guar gum is made from a seed native to tropical Asia and has an amazing ability to thicken up any cold liquid with just a tiny amount to create gels, pastes. It is zero net carbs due to it's high fibre and with no flavour, it tastes of whatever you add it to.

Substitutes: Xanthan gum can be a substitute for some recipes, however xanthan isn't as good as Guar gum when making cold recipes, as it needs heat to activate.
