Judee's Gluten Free Xanthan Gum Powder — 8 oz Resealable Pouch, Gluten-Free Non-GMO Thickener for Baking & Sauces

Judee's Gluten Free Xanthan Gum Powder is a gluten-free, non-GMO thickening and binding powder that improves texture in gluten-free baking, stabilizes sauces and soups, and enhances ice cream body.

This finely milled xanthan gum from Judee's Gluten Free is formulated in a dedicated gluten-free facility to help bakers and home cooks achieve better structure and mouthfeel without wheat-based gluten. It’s presented in an 8-ounce resealable pouch to keep the powder fresh and easy to store. Use small amounts to add elasticity to batters, prevent separation in dressings, or create a creamier frozen dessert base.

How much xanthan gum should I use in gluten-free baking?

Use xanthan gum sparingly — a little goes a long way. For most gluten-free flours, start with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per cup of flour for cookies and cakes, and 1 to 2 teaspoons per cup for breads to mimic gluten’s stretch and crumb structure.

• Cookies & cakes: 0.5–1 tsp per cup of flour
• Breads & pizza: 1–2 tsp per cup of flour
• Muffins & quick breads: 0.5–1 tsp per cup of flour
• Adjust slightly based on desired chewiness and recipe hydration

Can Judee's xanthan gum thicken soups, sauces, and dressings?

Yes — xanthan gum is an efficient cold- and hot-temperature thickener that creates smooth textures without cloudiness. It disperses quickly to prevent lumps and helps emulsify oil-and-vinegar dressings, reducing separation.

• Soups & gravies: 0.1–0.5% by weight for gentle thickening
• Sauces & pan sauces: start with a pinch and whisk to reach desired body
• Salad dressings: 0.1% stabilizes emulsions and prevents separation
• Warm sauces: add off-heat to avoid clumping, then reheat gently

Is this xanthan gum suitable for keto and homemade ice cream?

Judee's xanthan gum works well in low-carb and keto recipes because it provides structure and creaminess without adding carbs like traditional thickeners. In ice cream, it reduces ice crystal formation and contributes to a smoother scoopable texture.

• Keto desserts: improves mouthfeel with minimal carbs
• Ice cream: 0.1–0.3% stabilizes texture and limits iciness
• Sorbets & frozen yogurts: adds body without dairy fillers
• Works alongside gums like guar for tailored textures

How should I store and measure the xanthan gum for best results?

Keep the powder in its resealable 8-ounce pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve performance. Measure by level teaspoons or a small digital scale for repeatable results; sprinkle or whisk into dry ingredients first for even dispersion.

• Resealable pouch retains freshness and reduces clumping
• Store in pantry or cupboard away from moisture
• Whisk into dry mix or pre-dissolve in water for smoother results
• Use precise measuring for consistent baking and thickening

Who is this for? Judee's Gluten Free Xanthan Gum is aimed at home bakers, keto cooks, and anyone preparing gluten-free recipes who wants reliable texture and stability. It suits beginners who need an easy-to-use thickener and experienced cooks who want a neutral-flavored, pure ingredient made in a dedicated gluten-free facility. Keep a pouch on hand for breads, sauces, dressings, and frozen treats to improve consistency and reduce recipe failure.
