Almond gum, also known as badam pisin, is a natural resin extracted from the bark of almond trees, predominantly found in India. This translucent, jelly-like substance is highly prized in traditional Indian cuisine, especially for its cooling properties. Almond gum is rich in fiber and serves as a natural thickening agent in desserts, beverages, and ice creams. It is low in calories, gluten-free, and easy to digest, making it a popular choice for those with dietary restrictions. Additionally, it is known to aid in digestion and alleviate acidity. However, almond gum is best consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may lead to digestive discomfort for some individuals. Often soaked overnight to soften, almond gum blends seamlessly into recipes while offering a unique texture and subtle flavor. Its health benefits, combined with its culinary versatility, have earned it a notable place in both wellness and gastronomy circles.
