Guar Gum Food Grade Powder (8oz)

I used this guar gum in my homemade bubble recipe. Wow, the bubbles were so much better than solution you buy from the store. Only 2 tsp was used to make almost one gallon of bubbles.Ingredients for the BEST homemade bubbles:4 cups hot (almost boiling) water2 tsp guar gum200ml (about 1 cup) Dawn dish soap2 tsp baking powder 10 cups cold water Tools: Large metal cooking potWire whisk (for stirring...but can also be used as a bubble-blowing tool)Measuring cups and spoonsStoveEmpty gallon water bottle container for finished solutionNotes: -At each step, try to stir at an even speed, not getting too much foam on the surface.- Slowly sprinkle the guar gum and baking powder to avoid lumps.ENJOY!

I bought this to use for my potted plants, not for consumption.Its working just as planned.Some are in very large pots.( to be honest it's a lot of them).Potting soil can become "crunchy " after a year or 2. By mixing up the powder with boiled water I can make a humectant ie "water holding" solution to add now and then to my watering container. I still need to use compost water or some plant "food" for the soil but I do not need to buy and haul multiple 40 lb. bags of potting soil home and repot many large pots inside the house and out on our decks.

I decided to give it a try as a more budget friendly alternative to Xanthan gum. ِI use it in my morning banana smoothie. I have to use 3-4 times more Guar gum to achieve the same consistency. Will go back to using Xanthan gum.

a friend suggested this for making watercolor paint as I am not able to get gum Arabic. I tried using the same measurements...lol that was hilarious, needless to say I had quite a bit of adjusting to do. at no fault of the product let me add...but it arrived very fast, packages well and works for what I intended it for....so thumbs up and if I ever run out I will purchase again...lol

I use along with plain gelatin (pectin).

It does what it says, and if you use it for cooking, then it's a perfect product to buy if you need a thickening agent

Works like it should

I'm not sure that it was a bad product but it definitely didn't work for what I needed. I bought this for using in my fondant to help with the stretching and hardness when dried. It didn't seem to work for me like tylose powder does. I was hoping for it to be a good substitute.
