Guargum powder organic
What is Guargum? 
Guargum powder, also known as guargum or guargum extract, is a natural thickening agent and emulsifier. It is made from the seeds of the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), a legume that primarily grows in India and Pakistan. The powder is rich in dietary fiber and has various applications. 

How do you use Guargum? 
Guar gum can bind and thicken liquids just like tapioca and locust bean gum, even in small amounts. It dissolves well in water and forms a gel-like substance. 

What are the benefits of Guar Gum?
Guar gum is rich in so-called soluble fibers and contributes to the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels in the blood. 

What is the difference between Guar Gum and Guar Bean Fibers (Sunfiber) 
The difference between guar gum and guar bean fibers mainly lies in the way they are processed and used, although both come from the guar plant (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). Guar gum is made by grinding the endosperm (the inner part) of the guar bean into a fine powder. It mainly contains galactomannan, a soluble polysaccharide. Guar bean fibers are made from the whole guar bean (including the skin and other parts), primarily retaining the natural fibers. As a result, the fiber content is significantly higher than that of guar gum. Another difference is that it completely dissolves in water, unlike guar gum, which forms a gel-like substance.
