Vendor: Foga Gum
Gum Acacia (also called Gum Arabic) is made of the juice of a group of small acacia Senegal trees and shrubs, which grow predominantly around the warmer regions like gum belt, the Sahara in Sudan, Chad, Nigeria, Senegal and some parts of tropics and the Subtropics region. During the harvest season, trees are ‘tapped’ by making cuts in the trees. On the cuts the gum grows. After a few weeks the farmers get the gum from the tree. Crude of the grades are selected based on the type of Hand Picked Selected (HPS), Cleaned Gum, Siftings and Dust.
Gum Arabic is a pale white orange brown solid that breaks with glassy fracture. It is highly soluble in water and gives 50% of solution. It consists 95% of soluble fibre, which is a good source of neutral sugars like Rhamnose, Arabinose and Galactose,. Gum Arabic is an excellent source of cationic components like calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium.
