Best Guar Gum Thickeners of 2025

"I was amazed at how little of this I needed to make such a big difference. It's all-natural and has no preservatives, which is a huge plus. My dog and I both have food allergies, so I switched to organic options, and this has been a great addition to my cooking."

"This product is a game changer for my homemade ice cream. I mix one cup of whole milk with a few other ingredients and add half a teaspoon of Guar Gum. After freezing, it turns out better than any store-bought brand I've tried!"

"I really enjoy using It's Just Guar Gum for thickening my cold recipes. It's a perfect substitute for xanthan gum, and the fact that it's gluten-free makes it a staple in my pantry for baking."

“I create my own slushy coffee, and the challenge was keeping it frothy without using dairy. I tried this guar gum and figured out the perfect amount.”

“I’m a fan of their products, but finding them locally has been tough. Since I became gluten sensitive, Amazon has been a lifesaver in providing what I need!”

"I had no issues with this product. Opening the bucket was straightforward. I followed the instructions and had no mess at all. This guar gum is working wonderfully for my protein ice cream. It’s also the cheapest option I found on Amazon."

"While I love the quality and value, I have to warn others that it can be a real challenge to open. Just be prepared for a bit of a struggle."

"I mistakenly thought this would mix well in drinks like hydrolyzed guar fiber, but it acts more like corn starch. Still, I appreciate the nutritional benefits it offers. If I manage to use up this gallon, I’d definitely consider buying it again."

“I bought this specifically for my Ninja Creami to use as a thickening agent in light and protein ice creams. It works perfectly! I only need 1/4 teaspoon per pint, so this bag is a great value and will last me a long time.”

I’ve heard good things about it for baking, and I’ll update my review after I use it."

"I find Judee's Guar Gum Powder to be an excellent pantry addition for my gluten-free and keto lifestyle! This 10 oz package is perfect for thickening sauces, soups, and smoothies without adding extra carbs. Each serving has only 3 grams of carbs, allowing me to enjoy its thickening benefits without diet compromise. It mixes well, providing a smooth texture in my recipes effortlessly. I highly recommend it!"

"Switching to separate organic gluten-free flour and this product has led to significant savings. I was shocked to see I saved $2.00 compared to buying flour with xanthan gum included. Not only am I saving money, but the flour holds together nicely. Since moving to organic, I've noticed a major difference in my health and clarity of mind. The taste is more flavorful, and I'm not as hungry anymore. Thank you for providing quality products!"

"I use a small amount of this guar gum in my homemade ice cream. Although my ice cream maker does a great job, it used to produce small ice crystals when frozen. Just 1/4 tsp per 2 qt batch keeps the crystals from forming and ensures a smooth texture. I really like it!"

"I found this to be a great product at a great price. It really enhances the texture of my no sugar ice cream, and so far, I prefer it over xanthan gum."

"For my research on slime, I followed the directions on the package. While it did create a slimy product, it had a wet feel that isn't ideal for selling. It's fun for home projects or science experiments with kids, but I wouldn't use it as a commercial slime ingredient."

"I've had an excellent experience using this product. It gels beautifully, perfect for my Ninja Creami creations. I recommend using just 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per pint to prevent crystallization. Make sure to mix it with dry ingredients first for the best results!"

"I've personally used this for water slime and it worked well, but after a few weeks, it melted and smelled bad. If you're not using it for slime, it's a great product, but just take caution!"

"The product was exactly as described, and delivery was fast with my Prime membership. I was surprised by the larger size than expected, and I'm using it as a preservative and a gelatin substitute. The screw-on top is very convenient for access!"

"I bought this to replace 'thick it' for my Megaesophagus dog who is allergic to corn. A little goes a long way, making it a cost saver. So far, there have been no real effects or reactions, and I'll provide an update later!"

“I love using MB Herbals Guar Gum Powder for my adult slushies. Just a 1/2 teaspoon with one cup of Coke transforms a good slushie into a great one.”
