Pastry Star Guar Gum is a fine, off-white powder derived from guar beans, used as a natural thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a wide range of food applications. It provides viscosity and texture without heat and is effective in both cold and hot preparations. This makes it especially valuable for gluten-free baking, frozen desserts, salad dressings, sauces, and beverages.
