Product information "Organic Guar Gum – Plant-Based Thickener for Creamy Textures"
Organic guar gum – plant-based thickening with very little effort
Do you want to thicken a sauce, keep a dressing nicely homogeneous or give homemade ice cream a creamier texture – while choosing an ingredient in organic quality? Golden Peanut Gourmet® Organic Guar Gum 3500 cps is a versatile plant-based binding and thickening agent for exactly these applications. It is highly effective, almost neutral in aroma and flavour, and suitable for both cold and warm preparations.
Organic quality meets strong binding power
Our organic guar gum consists of 100% guar gum from certified organic cultivation. And choosing organic does not mean compromising on performance: the 3500 cps quality has approximately 8 times the thickening power of conventional starch. Even small amounts can therefore turn a thin liquid into a smoother, creamier or noticeably thicker preparation.
What exactly does guar gum do?
Guar gum is obtained from the seeds of the guar bean. A fine powder is produced from the endosperm of the seeds, and its characteristic properties are mainly due to the naturally occurring galactomannans. These plant-based polysaccharides can bind large amounts of water. When guar gum comes into contact with liquid, it swells and increases viscosity. This is exactly what makes it such a versatile hydrocolloid for cooking and food preparation.
Bring sauces, soups and dressings to the right consistency
Your sauce tastes perfect but is still too thin? Organic guar gum can be used to thicken hot and cold sauces, soups, dips and dressings and adjust the consistency to suit your recipe. One practical advantage is that guar gum does not need to be boiled in order to thicken. Cold preparations can therefore be thickened directly. In dressings and other mixtures, it can also support a smooth and homogeneous texture.
For creams, desserts and sweet recipe ideas
Organic guar gum is equally versatile in sweet preparations. Whether for creams, desserts, milk- and cream-based recipes, fruit preparations or cake glazes, small amounts can be used wherever liquids need binding or a creamier consistency is desired. As guar gum is almost neutral in flavour, your main ingredients remain the focus while the guar gum supports the texture.
Especially useful for creamy ice cream
Texture plays an important role in homemade ice cream. Ice crystals can form during freezing and make the finished result feel coarse or less creamy. Guar gum binds water and is therefore also used as a stabiliser in ice cream production. It can help reduce crystal formation and support a smoother, creamier ice cream texture. This is a particularly good example of how a hydrocolloid can influence texture without dominating the flavour.
Also suitable for gluten-free baking
Organic guar gum is gluten-free and vegan and is therefore also suitable for gluten-free baking and dough formulations. When the structure-building gluten found in conventional wheat flour is absent, suitable binding agents can help retain water and support the structure of the recipe. This is why guar gum is frequently used in gluten-free flour and baking mixes.
3500 cps – our versatile organic all-rounder
The cps value describes the viscosity of a defined solution under specified conditions. In simple terms, it gives an indication of how strongly the guar gum thickens a liquid. Our organic 3500 cps quality is versatile, strongly binding and especially suitable if you are looking for an uncomplicated all-rounder for a wide range of recipes. For applications requiring even higher viscosity, a 5000 cps quality is also available.
Hydrocolloids are one of our specialities
For us, guar gum is more than just another thickener. Hydrocolloids and functional food ingredients have been part of our expertise for many years. Alongside guar gum, this product world also includes ingredients such as locust bean gum, xanthan gum and agar agar. Depending on the required function, different hydrocolloids can be used to influence binding, stability, viscosity and texture. This expertise also goes into our Golden Peanut Gourmet® products.

Applications
Golden Peanut Gourmet® Organic Guar Gum 3500 cps is highly effective and suitable for binding, thickening and stabilising both cold and warm preparations. Even small amounts can noticeably change the consistency, so it is best to start sparingly and gradually work towards the desired texture.
Typical applications include:
- for thickening sauces and soups
- for dressings, dips and mayonnaise
- for creams and desserts
- for milk- and cream-based preparations
- for jams and fruit preparations
- for ice cream and frozen desserts
- for doughs and baked goods
- particularly suitable for gluten-free baking and dough formulations
Organic guar gum can be incorporated into both cold and warm liquids and does not need to be boiled in order to thicken. The 3500 cps quality has approximately 8 times the thickening power of conventional starch. Start with only a small amount.
For even distribution, sprinkle the powder in slowly while stirring vigorously so that it disperses evenly and lump formation is minimised. Allow it to swell briefly, then check the consistency. If necessary, carefully add a little more guar gum.
In ice cream, guar gum can also be used as a stabiliser and can help reduce crystallisation while supporting a smoother, creamier texture.
Tip: Guar gum thickens quickly and is highly effective. Start sparingly and gradually work towards the desired consistency.

Sehr gut.
Guakernmehl hat schon lange Tradition in unserer Küche. Da noch in Bioqualität - bin sehr zufrieden. Achtung, es mildert - meiner Meinung nach - den vorhandenen Geschmack etwas. Das kann - bei Überwürzung - natürlich auch von Vorteil sein. Ansonsten noch ein paar Kräuter zum Nachwürzen dazugeben.

Soßen, Dips, Suppen, Desserts und Fruchtmus zum andicken.
Sehr zufrieden, klare Kaufempfehlung?. Sparsam anwenden. Guarkernmehl. Ist ein Verdickung- und Bindemittel. Es ist ein natürliches pflanzliches Bindemittel, welches als Ersatz von Eigelb verwendet wird, auch für Soßen, Dips, Suppen, Desserts und Fruchtmus zum verdicken, als auch die Konsistenz von Brot und Backwaren auflockern, zudem bleiben die Backwaren länger frisch. Für eine leichte Bindung nimmt man 1 gestrichenen Teelöffel Guarkernmehl auf 250 ml Flüssigkeit für Kaltspeisen. Für Suppen und Saucen verwendet man ca. 2 gestrichene Teelöffel auf 250 ml Flüssigkeit. Für Backwaren setzt man pro kg Mehl ca. 1 gestrichenen Teelöffel Guarkernmehl ein.
