Xanthan Gum is a tasteless and odorless powder that serves as a thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier. Due to its unique properties, it has become a popular ingredient in many foods, and is mainly used as a gluten substitute in gluten-free recipes. When used to prepare meals, it has gelatin-like properties, but xanthan gum is obtained only from plant sources. Therefore, it is suitable for vegans.
