Arabic rubber

What is gum arabic?

Our Gum Arabic Powder (also known as Acacia Powder) is a high quality, off-white refined powder. It is a natural product obtained from the sap of two types of wild Acacia trees and is a high source of fibre. It is used as a stabiliser, to increase the viscosity of liquids, to inhibit the crystallisation of sugar and in cake baking. Its strong adhesive properties make it excellent for coating foods. When used in cake baking, it will help the sponge cake rise and add natural fibre to the mixture. It can be used to add gloss to products such as marzipan and icing (the more layers you use, the glossier it will be, but make sure each layer is dry before applying the next). It is a basic ingredient in making fruit syrups, marshmallows, edible glitter and gummy soft sweets. Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and ova-lacto-vegetarians, non-GMO, gluten free, kosher friendly, halal friendly.
