Micro Ingredients Xanthan Gum Powder, 32 oz (2 lb)

This is a really good value for the amount of xanthan gum you get. Before I started using my Ninja Creami, I honestly had no idea what xanthan gum was or what I would use it for, but now I find myself reaching for it pretty regularly. I’ve used it for everything from soups and puddings to ice cream, and it has worked well for each of those uses. One of my favorite ways to use it is with a protein shake, a tablespoon of sugar-free pudding mix, and a teaspoon of xanthan gum. I blend everything together and let it chill, and it makes a really good protein pudding. I’ve also used it to thicken protein smoothies, and it dissolves much better than some of the other brands I’ve tried. I don’t end up with that gummy buildup on the glass, which is something I’ve noticed with other xanthan gums. It also doesn’t add any noticeable flavor, so it doesn’t interfere with whatever I’m making. I can easily add different flavors, like strawberry cream, to switch things up. It has also been useful for gluten-free baking, particularly when I need a little more cohesion in dough. I’ve used it with pizza crust, and it has worked well for that purpose too. The 2-pound bag gives me plenty to work with, especially considering how often I use it, and the price is very reasonable for the amount you get. Pros * Good value for a 2-pound bag * Dissolves better than other brands I’ve tried * Works well in protein smoothies and shakes * Doesn’t add noticeable flavor * Useful for puddings, ice cream, soups, and baking * Helps with gluten-free dough cohesion * Doesn’t leave a gummy buildup on my glass Cons * None as of yet I’ve gone from barely knowing what xanthan gum was to using it regularly, mostly because I’ve found so many practical uses for it. It works particularly well for the protein smoothies and pudding I make, and I’ve also had good results using it for gluten-free baking. Between how well it dissolves, the fact that it doesn’t affect the flavor, and the amount you get for the price, I’m very happy with this one. I’ll be sticking with this brand.

I've been making my own sugar-free keto ice cream with allulose, and this xanthan gum has made a noticeable difference. It blends well, only takes a tiny amount, and gives the ice cream a much smoother, creamier texture without becoming gummy. I've also used it in sauces and dressings, and it works exactly as expected. The powder is very fine, mixes easily, and the large 2-pound bag should last a very long time since so little is needed for each recipe. If you're doing keto or gluten-free cooking and baking, this is an excellent value and a product I'll definitely buy again.

Works great to thicken homemade ice cream / protein smoothies. No cream, almond milk, and this thickens it nicely to make a great, solid ice cream-type protein snack.

I'm a gluten-free baker, this is my go-to brand for xanthan gum. Best value I've found and the product is as good as any other I've tried.

We bought this to use for making home made ice cream smoother and better consistency, which it is great at. A little goes a long way - it really plumps up in volume when you add liquid, so be aware of that! The powder has a bit of a funny smell to it, which I find off-putting... kinda chemically/processed, but it doesn't seem to affect the taste of the final food creation as long as you don't use an excessive amount of it. We put in about a teaspoon of the goop it makes after you add liquid to it to make a pint of ice cream. This bag is MUCH larger than we really needed since so little is needed at a time. It will probably last for years of ice cream making and I'm OK with that. :)

It was priced lower than the market. Great quality. Resealable bag!

This is a really great value for the amount of xanthum gum. Before I started using my Ninja Creami, I had no idea what this was, but now I use it for everything from soup to puddings. My favorite way to use it is by mixing a protein shake, tablespoon of sugar free pudding, and a teaspoon of this in the blender, then chilling. It's a really great protein pudding with fun flavors (like strawberry cream).
