What is a carb free thickener?

A carb-free thickener is a substance used in cooking and food preparation to increase the viscosity of a dish without adding carbohydrates. Common examples include xanthan gum, guar gum, and Gelatin, which are often used in low-carb or ketogenic diets. These thickeners can help achieve desired textures in sauces, soups, and desserts while maintaining a low carbohydrate content. They are typically used in small amounts, as they can be very effective at thickening liquids.
