Xanthan Gum
Bob's Red Mill Xanthan Gum, 8 oz
Single ingredient, labelled gluten free, and an eight ounce bag is about a year of keto baking. There is no reason to buy more than this.

The stand in for both gluten and cornflour. A pinch gives almond flour bakes some stretch and thickens sauces and gravies without adding carbs.
What to look for
- Xanthan gum as the single ingredient
- A small bag or tub, since recipes use it by the quarter teaspoon
- Gluten free certification if you bake for someone with coeliac disease
- Resealable packaging, because it clumps badly once damp
How to use it
Sprinkle it over a hot sauce while whisking rather than tipping it in, otherwise it sets into lumps. Too much makes food slimy, so start with less than you think you need.

The catch
Too much makes food slimy, and some people get digestive upset from it. A small bag lasts a year, so do not buy a large one.
