Once tried as a forage in Texas, guar now finds new uses including papermaking and gum production as a market grows. Research by General Mills spurred early plantings in 1943, with Arizona farmers cultivating 800 acres and yields around 1500 pounds per acre. The plant offers a gum similar to starch and has potential in food and industrial applications.
