Review: WONDERFUL thickner! - I saw Tara gum used in a keto (ice cream) recipe but was not able to find it locally. Delivery took a while because it comes from Peru but it was worth it because it's organic and from a small fair trade company. I used it to thicken beef stew and it was much better than guar or xantham gum and my family had no idea I had not used flour as stews require. I haven't used it for the icecream or dessert recipes yet but the stew alone won me over and now I have another healthy alternative to corn starch and flour which I have eliminated from my diet. BEWARE though, that TINY BIT goes a long way!!!! Make a slurry with more liquid than powder and mix quickly because it gels rapidly and expands in hot liquid! Use cool and warm liquids - not hot because that cooks it in lumps. Best features: silky finish (no slimy taste like Xantham gum), and it is flavorless.
Review: Great for cashew milk and vegan eggs - I've used most gums and this one is my new favorite. Great company to buy from too. It's typical for gums like this to not have recipes or instructions but I suggest they add something on the package. I think most of us using stuff like this are used to it though. I've used cold and heated without any difference in texture. This seems to be the least offensive to the gut but it looks like more research is needed. My cashew milk 1/4t tara gum, 3/4c cashews and 3c water. All blended cold in a vitamix for 1 min. Should fill a 32oz mason jar, boom! The gum binds all the fine pieces of cashew so it isn't necessary to strain with a nutmilk bag.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: For every teaspoon of xanthan gum a recipe calls for, how much would it be for tara gum? (please ignore if you do not know)**
A: I use them interchangeably. But I think you could get away with using a little bit less Tara gum For the same results.

**Q: Will this work well in bread maker?**
A: I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moisturizing
*by T***I on August 25, 2021*

I got this to use to make "botanical hyaluronic acid". Experimented with a few ways and got a good mix by adding vegetable glycerin to the powder, mix and let it sit 15 mins, then add very warm water while mixing. I use it as a serum addition or enhancer and have been waking up with soft, dewy skin. Of course, I may use the powder later in food and ice cream. Yum!
