About Gum acacia
Gum Acacia, also known as acacia gum or gum arabic, is a natural dietary fiber derived from the hardened sap of acacia trees, predominantly native to Africa. Used for centuries in Middle Eastern and African cuisines, it serves as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in foods and beverages like candies, baked goods, and soft drinks. Gum Acacia is rich in soluble fiber, which supports digestive health and helps maintain cholesterol levels. It is low in calories and has minimal fat, making it a wholesome ingredient in moderation. Additionally, its prebiotic properties promote gut microbiome balance by fostering beneficial bacteria. Although generally well-tolerated, excessive consumption might cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. A versatile and functional additive, Gum Acacia is prized not just for its physical benefits, but also for its natural origins and compatibility with various dietary standards, including vegan-friendly and gluten-free diets.
