Grab our convenient 1 tsp packet size to make up to 3 pint batches of paste. You only need 1/4 tsp per batch.\nWhat is Xanthan Gum?  Xanthan Gum is a fantastic plant-based thickener and stabilizer created by fermenting sugar with the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. This amazing powder is loved for its ability to bind, emulsify, and thicken mixtures, making it a wonderfully versatile ingredient in the kitchen.  \nHomemade Vanilla Paste  Xanthan Gum plays a crucial role in achieving the perfect consistency in homemade vanilla paste. Just a sprinkle of 1/4 teaspoon per pint keeps those delightful vanilla seeds (caviar) nicely suspended, ensuring they stay evenly mixed without sinking. Its thickening prowess creates a beautifully smooth, uniform texture.\nGluten-Free Baking and More  Xanthan Gum is a must-have in gluten-free baking, helping to replicate gluten’s elasticity and structure. It works wonders in holding doughs together and allowing them to rise beautifully, resulting in soft, chewy breads, cookies, and cakes.  \nBut that’s not all! Xanthan gum shines in many other ways:  \n\n\nIt thickens sauces and salad dressings, giving them a creamy texture.  \n\nIt acts as an emulsifier, helping to combine ingredients that usually don’t mix, like oil and water.  \n\nIt serves as a stabilizer in ice cream, preventing ice crystals from forming.  \n\nDetails: Made in the USA.\nZero-Waste Spice Refills Packaged in Compostable Packaging:\n\n\n1 tsp: packaged in our sample zip top pouch (0.15 oz)\n\n\nSmall Refill: 3 tbsp volume (1.0 oz net weight)\n\nLarge Refill: scant 1/2 cup volume (3.0 oz net weight)\n\nRefill packaging is made from plants and safe for home composting.
