BOB’S RED MILL XANTHAN GUM

THICKENS ANYTHING WITH A TINY AMOUNT

This strange substance is vastly used in molecular gastronomy (the science of physical and chemical changes of ingredients in cooking), but is also quite well known in the keto world too.

Mainly used as a thickener, this (net)carb-free substance will last you a long time. Just a small amount will last you months and months. You use quantities that are ¼ teaspoon or less in most cases, and it’s well worth the money buying up-front. From thickening stews to making ice cream, xanthan gum will be an irreplaceable ingredient in your low-carb kitchen.
