Guar
gum has been used for centuries. We use “organic guar gum” in our
canned pet food as a binder. Guar gum has the natural ability to bind
with water molecules, preventing them from forming the unwanted
crystals. Foods with textures are primarily held together with binders
such as guar gum. Without a binder such as guar gum, the individual
ingredients might separate into a watery mess.
