magda Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm at a loss as to how to thicken soups/sauces while on whole30. Can I use guar gum as a thickener? If not, what are W30 compatible options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 13, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2012 You have lots of choices of thickeners. Guar gum would be okay as well as coconut flour, almond flour, tapioca flour, and maybe a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Guar gum and xanthan gum can be super tricky to work with. I would recommend arrowroot or tapioca to get the "cornstarch" thickened texture we're used to. Just a tip, though, add your tapioca to a cool liquid and whisk thoroughly before heating. You'll get better results and less lumps (though you'll probably still need to strain). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
