Sattvic Foods Xanthan Gum (Gluten-free/Vegan thickening)

About

Xanthan Gum is a vegan thickening agent that is sourced purely from plants and also works as a stabilizer. It has a number of powerful properties: First, it works as an emulsifier, enabling liquids that normally don't like one another to mix together. Second, it works as a thickener in liquids and batters.

Because baked goods made with regular flours depend on gluten for structure, those made with gluten-free flours will often require a thickener to keep them from crumbling. Most gluten-free baking recipes suggest Xanthan Gum.
