Do you still have to add xanthan gum? If so, how much per cup? And, which brand is best? Thank you! (I'm VERY new to GF.) :-)

http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/gluten-free-multi-purpose-flourThis mix does not include xanthan gum, so you will have to add it. How much varies, per recipe. I'm not sure which brand is best... you'll have to research it. I'm not much of a baker. I frequently use mixes and visit gluten-free bakeries.

Yes. I use 1 teaspoon for cup of flour. I don't know what brand it is...just did a search on ebay and ordered one of what showed up.

No xanthan gum is needed with this product. You can just use it as a direct substitute for wheat flour in any recipe. It has worked well in any baking recipe I have tried. Best of luck in your wheat free holiday baking!

I forgot to mention that I do use 3 tablespoons of flax meal per cup of this flour which seems to eliminate the need for xanthan gum while also adding to the nutrition of your baked goods.

I cut down on sugar considerably in my recipe. To keep it from freezing solid I use a product called Cremodan, available here on Amazon. It's a mix of gums and other stabilizers, and you only need a little in each batch. My froyo still freezes very firm (my recipe is also very low fat), but it's not fully solid so I can still scoop off the top with a good scoop.

The ones I receive from Amazon do still have Carrageenan Gum in them. Last time I looked at the original website, they still listed it. I will look at website again and see if they took it out. I hope they did!

おはよう、Robyn! To answer your question, there's not much in this version of the popular Lotte Black Black. I do speak and read Japanese so about 1.5mg per piece. Since these is so little, it's absorbed and burnt fairly quickly... unless you are the type to get hyperactive. I recommend this gum, but if you need the extra caffeine rush try Black Black Speedy or Hard. Each of these is like 11.9mg per piece

Xanthan gum can be made from bacterium from wheat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthan_gum#Allergies) so although it doesn't contain wheat, if you are highly intolerant, I would avoid it or find one labeled GF.

Try 'Garden of Life' Raw Meal vanilla chai flavor. It costs less than this product, tastes better and in my opinion is much better for you. Remember with the cacoa and maca powder you are getting added caffeine which in my experience is a toxin that builds up in the tissues and causes problems over time. They do make you feel great but there's a price to pay down the road. No such issues with the garden of life product I mentioned and it's cheaper to boot.

http://foodreference.about.com/od/Food-Additives/a/What-Is-Xanthan-Gum.htmAccording to this article, Xanthan Gum can be made using carbohydrates from corn, wheat, dairy, or soy. Since the package doesn't say exactly, you may want to assume it does. I don't understand, though, why it is so widely used in gluten free recipes if it is made from wheat. I have been using corn starch as a thickener because I'm just not sure about this stuff.

MSG free: http://www.pur-gum.com/faq.htmlThey seem to hype their all natural thing, the gum is also good.

I have not added xanthan gum, but used it cup for cup in my baking recipes and it has turned out fine.

FYI, just got my first bag today and enjoying a cup of coffee. The bag says "100% Pure, Non-GMO" and a video at NutritionFacts.org indicates that this is the "winner" as a "harmless" sweetener. http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-harmless-artificial-sweetener/

Hi Lisa, I put only 1 tsp in a green and red drink -- all powders and then put a few organic frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries in it and put it in fridge ...go to a walk...and come back and enjoy it. The drink combines greens with reds, 1 tsp each of l glutamine powder and inflammacore for immune system then i add 1 tablespoon of organic pomegrante powder and organic black raspberry powder. So the taste is basically sweet from all the fruit. Not calorie to any extent but a good immune drink. I mix with 1/4 or less cup of iced filtered water or Fiji. My integrative hematologist advised me on this. Not sure this will be helpful to you though. On the side, each day I have a fresh green drink that has a bit of beet in it too. I must say I never get sick and don't take the flu shot. Eat as much organic as possible. my e-mail is gaynornews@gmail.com if you want to follow up directly. Betty Ann Gaynor

I checked my bag of artisan flour and it does not contain xanthan gum, but guar gum instead. Pamela's regular baking mix has xanthan gum added in.

Hi everyone, This is Jeff from Integrated Sports Nutrition. We formulated and produce Red Leaf Pre-Workout Energizer. The supplement facts panels for dietary supplements are a little different than for regular food products. Sorry for any confusion. There is 0 grams sugar and 0 carbs. To be super precise, there is a trace amount of carbs from the natural lime flavoring, but it rounds down to 0 (per FDA labeling guidelines). The sweetness comes from the combo of natural flavoring and the sweetener - which is sucralose. Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda (the yellow packets you see at Starbucks). But we use very little of that, less than the equivalent of 1/5 a pack of Splenda. It's the combo of these various ingredients that makes the product taste sweet - even though it has 0 sugar. It was a painstaking flavoring process that took over 1 year to get right. It's because anything with any green tea or caffeine in it is nasty. So covering that up without using a ton of flavoring and sweetener is a bear. But we did it, using a very minimal amount of flavoring and sucralose. Hope you like it. Feel free to email me at jeff@isnlabs.com with any questions at all. Best regards, Jeff ISN

I always add some xanthan gum to my GF baking... I really believe it adds lift and tenderness.

I have the same question, why is this only available in VERY VANILLA.. I only buy the very vanilla type because I have no other choice, but this is too sweet for me, too! Soy is healthy, but the sugar content in it? That makes me nervous.. I hope that the SILK company will start making the original -- or even the no sugar-added soymilk in tetrapacks, like this!
