Xanthan gum To quote its Wikipedia page’s definition: Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide secreted by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris( which causes bacterial leaf spot). Translation: Xanthan gum is a sugar derived typically from corn (can also be from soy or wheat) that has been pooped out by a bacteria that produces rot on various vegetables.



What products can you find xanthan gum in?

Chances are you have consumed xanthan gum mores times than you realize. It is a common ingredient in everyday items like toothpaste, medicine, various condiments like salad dressing, cosmetics, ice cream, and even gum. It’s probably fair to say that if it is packaged, it contains xanthan gum. Why, you might ask? It is a great thickener–it has the properties perfect for creating a food that binds well and is stabilized.
