GUAR GUM POWDER

The guar bean is principally grown in India, India produces about 2.5 - 3.5 million tons of guar annually, making it the largest producer with about 80% of world production. In India, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana are the main producing regions, and Jodhpur, Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh in Rajasthan are the major Guar trading markets. 
One use of guar gum powder is as a thickening agent in foods and medicines for humans and animals. Because it is gluten-free, it's also used as an additive to replace wheat flour in baked goods. It has also been shown to be beneficial to health. It has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol and lower blood glucose levels. Additional benefits have been seen in one's efforts to lose weight where, when ingested, its water-absorbing properties cause it to swell in the stomach giving one that 'full' sensation sooner.
