An interesting listen if you're up for it, is Guy Raz's interview[1] with Bob Moore about the founding of Bob's Red Mill and how they became the company they are. It's good stuff.
Personally, I'm a fan of their products. My shelves currently hold Vital Wheat Gluten, Arrowroot flour, Tapioca flour, Powered milk, and Xantham gum all from Bob's Red mill. They make quality products.

- dumbo-octopus 3y agoWho's digesting xanthan gum? It's a soluble fiber, the body does not process it. Compare to gluten which it often replaces and is digested, with occasional consequence.
- sircastor 3y agoMy squimishness about things is kind of weird when I evaluate it. I don't care about Xantham Gum or yeast - both microbial products. Honey - literally insect vomit - is also fine. Though I'd be uncomfortable eating honeycomb, and I don't handle well meat where evidence of actual living organism is notable (veins, organs, actual shapes of parts of animals) I made Xiao Long Bao a while back, and part of the process is to make essentially meat jello. Meat Jello is pretty gross to me, but when it's heated up and fills a dumpling with a rich umame soup, it's amazing. We're all different. Is there something that you eat that you think others would find wholly unpalatable?
