What are your, um, favorite gum providers?
- mattmaroon 5mo agoSmall scale: modernist pantry. Commercial scale: Ingredion’s TIC gums. Their pre-hydrated gum arabic is great.
- valarauko 5mo agoIs the Modernist Pantry gum arabic pre hydrated?
- mattmaroon 5mo agoI’m not sure, but they do sell some pre-hydrated gums and usually call them “perfected”. They are largely buying in commercial quantities and re-packaging for restaurant-scale use with their gums because a lot of the bigger ingredient companies that make the best products won’t sell in smaller than 50 lb (or sometimes even much larger) increments. Pre-hydrated gums are usually just hydrated and then spray dried ones.
- valarauko 5mo agoI've used their "perfected" xanthan gum which is a separate SKU from their regular xanthan gum. At least for gum arabic they seem to only offer one SKU, so I'm guessing it's not prehydrated.
- pseingatl 5mo agoAll gum arabica comes from Sudan. When the US imposed sanctions on Sudan, this product was exempted.
- mattmaroon 5mo agoHa yeah. That whole thing is kind of crazy.
