What is it?
As the demand for gluten-free products and recipes increases, it seems that xanthan gum is suddenly everywhere.
"It's a great way to add stretch to your dough and baked goods in gluten free baking," says Helen Tzouganatos, host of Loving Gluten Free. "It mimics the properties of gluten due to its ‘gummy’ texture, hence the name."
Of course, xanthan gum is not a new thing at all. It was first discovered in the 1950s (which might go a long way in explaining its futuristic name), and was introduced to the food scene in the 1970s.
