This was by far the best blend I have found!

This is a great product! I was looking for something to thicken uncooked homemade salad dressings. Just a tiny bit (1/4 tsp.) does the trick: it is tasteless but thickens salad dressing to have a slightly more gelatinous consistency that sticks to lettuce and other vegetables, rather than running straight to the bottom of the bowl. While it starts to thicken within an hour, it will continue to set up over the course of a day, even when refrigerated. (I first didn't think it was going to work, so I added more fairly quickly -- that was a mistake! Allow a minimum of 24 hours before deciding whether to add more.)My husband likes vinaigrette but is leery of trying new things. However, I suggested we add a bit to his dressing, too, and he reluctantly agreed to try it. That night at dinner, without any further reminders or prompting, he immediately noticed how much better his dressing coated the lettuce leaves of his salad without changing the taste. He held up his salad bowl with amazement and glee to show me that, instead of a large puddle of wasted dressing at the bottom, his bowl was virtually clean!The package opens completely across the top, making it easy to dip in a measuring spoon, and reseals, making it very convenient to store. Although the price may seem high, since one uses such a small amount each time, it is really quite economical and will last a very long time.It arrived quickly and securely packaged from the seller. I am very satisfied.

We wanted to transition to a less carb heavy way of eating. After looking up some recipes I decided to give this a try to help thicken up foods. I first used this on a beef stew. I was scared to try this because I wasn’t sure how to use it. I Cooked my food and I slowly added some until I got to the desired thickness. It worked perfectly. It has zero taste and it does thicken up your liquids, it is a different texture than using cornstarch or premixed stew thickeners but it’s a good substitute. If you add too much, your food will become jelly like, so move slow. Add a little, mix, wait a minute to see how it thickens your sauce up and repeat as needed. But I do recommend this if you are needing something to thicken up your foods.

Exactly what I was looking for. So here is the deal. I love to make hot sauce, but every time i make it, the stuff separates, no matter what I do. Looked at some of the hot sauce labels and a lot of them say Xanthan Gum. So figured worth a shot. Had some separated hot sauce from last week, and decided to use 1/2 tsp. of this stuff. Read many blogs on line as well and some folks use it, but they don't say how. You can't sprinkle it into heated hot sauce (found out the hard way) Its just like any thickener will clump up. You can't put it into cold water like you would corn starch, same thing clumps up. But i noticed it immediately the water starts to gel. So what ya have to do is put it into the blender (not if its hot, that would make a mess), and blend about 1/4 tsp. per half quart. Possibly add a little more if you don't like the thickness. Then let it sit, check thickness and add tiny bit more. My sauce is still thickened and I am very happy with it. This time i used a little to much, will use the 1/4 tsp and go from there next time. It has no flavor and is all natural so no harm no foul. I don't sell the stuff just give it away so it is all good. All in all, just what I was looking for.

Gave Judee's Xanthan Gum a whirl to thicken up my usually watery whey protein shakes, and it did the trick! Just a little bit turned my shake into a richer, more enjoyable drink. Simple product, but a big difference! Good stuff.Gave flavor 5 star but there really is no flavor. Also, mixing this is a bit difficult, you may need to have a blender for this. I tried it with a shaker bottle and while it works it requires some work.

I've recently been cooking some gluten free items for a couple of members of our family who recently discovered may have problems with gluten. I found some great gluten free flour at Sams Club, but you need gluten or a replacement for it when making bread. I won't say this is a perfect replacement for gluten, and it is more expensive, but it does get the job done and it makes a very acceptable product at a lower cost than some of the other alternatives that are out there.It wasn't until after I got this however, that I discovered what a great thickening agent it is. I used to be strictly a flour and cornstarch cook, but have switched over to arrowroot and now have xanthan gum as an alternative. While it does an amazing job in thickening things like gravies, it's not a perfect replacement for flour there either. But it's a different product so I don't expect it to be exactly the same either and it makes it no more deficient than stevia is deficient compared to sugar. It's just different and has some amazing properties of its own.

Manufacturer bag was ripped open on the bottom. I love using this product and have purchased it before, but Amazon is NO HELP to get a replacement. I can't serve this in my business

As a Keto follower, I am always looking for ways to stay on track while at the same time preparing healthy, tasty meals. I'd read about Xanthan Gum but was hesitant to order because of being unfamiliar with the product. But I finally decided it was time to give it a try to see if it would be a useful tool. So glad I added to my kitchen arsenal - I have made several delicious gravies and sauces, include Thanksgiving gravy for the entire family when I got the comment 'your gravy is so delicious this year' from more than one relative. Judee's is well packaged and is fairly priced. New product users be careful, it only takes a very, very small amount for thickening. Because of that it will be a while before I need to buy again but when I do Judee's will be my go to brand.
