PRODUCT DETAILS​

​

Gum Arabic is a natural vegetal resin obtained from two different species of Acacia trees naturally grown in the “Gum Belt”, especially in the Sudanese region.

This resin is produced in order to heal the cuttings made on the tree trunks, when in contact with the air this liquid becomes a glass like hard gum with high viscosity harvested during the dry season between November and April.

After the harvest, Gum Arabic tears are still soft and have to dry under the sun before the sorting, packing, storage, transport and export.

It is commonly known as E414 as additive in the food industry.

It is 100% natural, 100% high soluble dietary fiber, multifunctional, healthy, GMO free, gluten free, allergen-free and suitable for a vegan diet.

Colourless, odourless and tasteless.

We now offer Gum Arabic as raw material and as a processed product in kosher, halal and organic certified qualities.
