Locust Bean Gum, 100g

Use locust bean gum in place of flour or eggs to bind together ingredients in your vegan brownies, banana bread and biscuits. The natural powder is extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. It can act as a vegan-friendly gelling agent, stabiliser and thickener. 

Locust bean gum can be added to ice creams and sorbets to delay the formation of ice crystals, leading to a smoother, silkier texture. You can also use this powder to increase the thickness of liquids for sauces, dressings and desserts.

• Dosage rates: 3 – 11 grams per kg.
