E.g. agar-agar is an emulsifying agent. It's ground seaweed. As is chickpea wash. Both used for at least centuries.

Even the more exotic sounding stuff like xanthan gum are often stuff like fermentation byproducts. Totally organic!

Xanthan on the other hand is a bacterial wash, isn’t it? And we use it because guar got priced up by fracking.

I was excited when I found that I could actually buy xanthan gum in the grocery store; now I can make delicious foods at home!
