Great Value Xanthan Gum, Cornstarch & Cooking Thickeners, 5 oz

I've tried many brands of xanthan gum. I usually buy it in bulk. I'd seen that this one had many negative reviews so never bought it. I ran out and bought this to get me thru for a couple days and Wow, am I glad I did. It works amazing. I'm using 1/3 less in my recipe than with the other 2 brands I'd been using. I'm not sure why it is getting bad reviews. It works prefect and will be my new go to xanthan gum. Thank GOD!!

its the only gluten free Xanthan gum that doesnt upset my stomach. This one really works , and thickens up my dishes well.

I use this to make ice cream on the ninja creami.

I bought this to use in various recipes. It works very well as a thickener.

perfect for protien shakes

First time buying this product. Used it to make my favorite Starbucks drink that's no longer on menu. It helped keep drink from separating. However, had a belly ache shortly afterwards, not sure if it was the xantham gum or the other milky items used.

works perfectly in my ninja creamy. makes the ice cream thick and creamy. kind of hard to mix in as it likes to clump. also a little bit sticks to bottom of Bowl in crevice. have to dig out with bottle brush

I only use this to thicken cold dressings or sauces and I have no problem with it working. I've used it to make low fat salad dressings and also sauces. I've found that for best results you need to thoroughly mix all other liquid ingredients first, then slowly add the Xanthan gum, whisking as you do. Usually, within 5 - 10 minutes, it thickens up.

I didn't receive this in my order.

I was so hoping that this was going to work. I have a hard time finding it in my area and found it at a Walmart I was visiting in a nearby town. I had read the reviews that it wasn't real and didn't work. I just thought they had a bad batch or something. I went ahead and bought it anyway. I used it in a couple recipes and yep, it didn't work at all. The baked goods fell apart and crumbled. Having worked with xanthan gum for 13 years, I know what it feels like on your hands when wet so I tested it. It gets slimy and sticky. I got my fingers wet and touched it and it just crumbled off my hands. Not sticky at all. I hope Walmart reads these reviews, because something needs to change. I don't know what this is, but it is not real xanthan gum.
