Gum arabic

What is gum arabic?

Our gum arabic powder, also known as acacia powder, is a high-quality, refined, off-white powder. This natural product comes from the sap of two species of wild acacia trees and is rich in fibre. It is used as a stabiliser, to increase the viscosity of liquids, to inhibit sugar crystallisation and in cake baking. Its strong adhesive properties make it useful for coating foods. In cakes, it helps sponge mixtures rise and adds natural fibre. It can add a gloss to marzipan and icing: apply additional coats for a stronger shine, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. It is also used in fruit syrups, marshmallows, edible glitter and soft gummy sweets. Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and ovo-lacto vegetarians. Non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher-friendly and halal-friendly.
