xanthan gum is...

Misc.

Xanthan gum is used in wheat free/gluten free recipes to make things "chewy".
Gluten is what gives bread the elasticity so when you remove gluten or use a flour that doesn't have gluten (rice, tapioca) then the result is crumbly product. Xanthan gum makes it more like wheat bread. Hope that this helps.
