Very useful for low-carb thickening. Works in cold as well as hot, unlike guar gum which seems to require heat. Good for thickening powdered shakes or de-glazing pan for sauces for sauteed food. Requires experimenting: has great thickening power. Making a gravy with 1 cup of stock or thickening a 12 oz. shake requires only about 1/4 teaspoon. Also, goes through stages in cooking so start very slowly.
Recommended Use: Use in baking products as directed.
