For those who aren't familiar with it yet, meet xanthan gum.
I know it sounds weird and chemically, but it is actually just the fermentation product of an inactive bacteria (Xanthomonas campestris).
You can read more about it here.
It is commonly used in gluten-free baking to mimic the effects of gluten.
Fun fact about xanthan gum: it has actually been shown to decrease cancer in rats! Go figure.
​A word of caution: some people experience an upset stomach, so be careful!​

Hi Betty! I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the points system. I'm sure it can't be more than one, though!!
