Earthborn Elements Guar Gum Powder, 1 Gallon, Gluten-Free Food Thickener & Binder, Baking, Resealable Bucket

Nice

I had no problems. The bucket was easy to open, I followed the instructions on the product page by using a bucket tool and scoring the perforated tabs. Some complained that when you open the container it freates a powder mess, but that hasn't been the case for me at all. This stuff is powdery but it kinda sticks together, when I open the container there is no poof or anything, no mess. This has been working great for my protein ice cream. This guar gum is the cheapest I found on amazon, and the guar gum is cheaper than xantham gum.The only problem is that I think this bucket would take me years to use and I am not sure of the shelf life of guar gum.... Overall this a 5 stars from me.

See the headline -and I give away Bubble Things (I buy them in bulk) I provide them as I find necessary and do give people more than you get with the Bubble Thing mix the BT powder is almost certainly Guar Gum and as long as there is no dirt (when GG is purchased to aid water retention for plants it usually has soil in it which does not work well with Bubble solution.....

I like the quality and value of this guar gum. I would give it a perfect rating - but it is difficult at best to open. Be ready to struggle to open

I've never had a problem with dissolving guar gum or it clumping in my recipes. But this one, consistently forms a clump of gel-like mass that settles at the bottom after a couple of days. I should of never switched brands....ugh.

I mistakenly bought this to mix into my drinks as extra guar fiber. It does not work the same way the hydrolyzed guar fiber works. It works more like corn starch. Of course, I would rather use this for the nutritional benefit than corn starch. If I ever make it through this whole gallon, I would buy it again.

I use a lot of guar gum in baking since my son is sensitive to xanthan gum. This was economical and well packaged. There are great instructions on the container for use and it seals well which is important for a bulk item such as this.

The product itself is good in that it works really well for the intended purpose, but the packaging form is quite inconvenient, as when you open it (especially the very first time), you get a puff of guar gum spilling everywhere, making a giant slippery mess, as guar gum reacts with water, which makes it extremely difficult to cleanup..
