Guar gum is a soluble fiber that is present in the plant Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. Cultivated in India and Pakistan, this plant is currently used in the food industry as a good source of fiber in many foods and products.

 
Guar gum is obtained by grinding the endosperm of the seeds of the Guar plant. It is a natural fiber, fine powder of light color. Guar gum has greater thickening power than starches, and without the carbohydrates! It absorbs a large amount of liquid and gives a consistency that is more gelatinous than viscous.
 

It is used in very small quantities due to its great ability to absorb liquids. Forms a gel when mixed with water.
