Bobs Red Mill Premium Quality Xanthan Gum is the perfect ingredient for Gluten Free Baking, as it acts as both an emulsifier & a binder, adding volume to Gluten Free Breads, Biscuits, Cookies & Cakes, as well as other baked goods.

Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum plays the crucial role of imitating gluten (in baking, gluten is what makes dough doughy), giving dough elasticity and viscosity. These properties help to hold such things as a cookie together during the time it bakes on a sheet in the oven, and enables cakes and Bread to hold onto the gas bubbles that form inside them - this allows them to rise and take shape.
