Xanthan Gum by NKD Living (125g) Compostable Plastic Free Pouch

This was the first time I have used xanthan gum in baking. I used it with gluten free self raising flour to make a Victoria sponge and was delighted with the results- you really couldn’t tell it was a gluten free cake and it rose perfectly. I used my normal recipe and added half a teaspoon of it to the flour and mixed it in well.

I’m low carb and use xantham gum in order to thicken homemade curries and stews, because I obviously can’t use flour. With previous xantham gum experiences, I’ve had no end of trouble with lumpiness, having to mix it with oil first, and chalkiness in the food. I just assumed this was the deal with using xantham gum.When I got this one, I tested it by sprinkling it directly into a curry and lo and behold it didn’t lump up! I mixed it straight in and it thickened nicely with no floury residue. It’s obviously a high quality gum and a fine powder that mixes in easily. You also only need a tiny bit to thicken a pot of something. I’ll be buying it again when I’ve used this package up! Definitely recommended if you’re low carb and need a thickener.

Product as described, be careful the pouch is thin and prone to tear so I taped up the hole as the powder was leaking. However on the plus side at least it’s compostable and environmentally friendly

I use this for keto cooking: specifically for adding to gluten-free flours such as almond, milk thistle & pumpkin seed. It successfully binds ingredients together even if you make something raw e.g. keto protein bars. I also use this to make keto condensed milk with butter, double cream and erythritol/stevia. So far very happy: it doesn't change the taste of the ingredients and binds them well.

I found easy to use and effective for the purpose intended.

Doesn't seem to thicken up too well, so ended up using more than each recipe says.

I used this to make a cake as I have become a diabetic and made it for my daughter birthday.

This is a great product a vital ingredient to most keto recipes. My only criticism is the packaging is meant to be resealable but the seal doesn’t work.

Ottimo prodotto.acquistato come addensante per l'utilizzo di farine alternative nell'alimentazione chetogenica. Da utilizzare in singoli grammi onde evitare la malriuscita dell'impasto... non altera il sapore dell'impasto... lo consiglio è l'ho riacquistato

Pour rendre le gel , hydroalcoolique...Fait chauffer la préparation quelques minutes mais pas trop.... Juste que ça soit suffisamment chaud pour que la poudre de dissous bien .... ensuite mettre votre préparation dans sa bouteille.Laisser posé au moins 2h voir plus.Et petit astuce pour que ça gélifie vraiment.... Rajouter un petit peu d'eau chaude.Et refermé votre bouteille, et secouer fort pendant 1 ou 2 minutes.Sans cette petite quantité d'eau chaude... Le lien ne se fait pas...ça reste semi liquide.Qui a rajouter de l'alcool avec l'eau si vous le souhaitez.

Buono

J'utilise la gomme xanthane pour préparer un gel qui me sert à réaliser du gel hydroalcooliquePetit bémol le paquet ne se referme pas bien, il vaut mieux la transférer dans un bocal.

Acquistato per produrre il disinfettante per le mani, rende il liquido più denso utilizzato nelle giuste quantità, utile per addensare anche le salse
