So, what is gommes guar?

Gommes guar, also known as guar gum, is a food ingredient commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in various processed foods. It is derived from the seeds of the guar plant, which is native to India and Pakistan. Gommes guar has a unique ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance, which makes it useful in improving the texture and consistency of food products. It is often used in dairy products, baked goods, sauces, and beverages. Gommes guar is also a popular ingredient in gluten-free recipes as it can mimic the texture of gluten. Despite its numerous benefits, gommes guar should be consumed in moderation as excessive intake may lead to digestive issues.
