Guar gum is derived from the endosperm of guar beans. The seeds of the Guar plant consists of three main parts the germ, the endosperm and the husk. Guar gum is processed by removing the husk, followed by milling and filtering to produce a slightly yellow powder that has a good flow. Guar gum is also economical because it has a better the water-thickening ability than other agents (e.g. cornstarch) and only a small quantity is needed for producing sufficient viscosity.
