Gum arabic (acacia) 250g

Gum arabic powder – acacia powder

Our gum arabic powder (also known as acacia powder) is a high-quality, refined, off-white powder. This natural product is obtained from the sap of two types of wild acacia tree and is an excellent source of fibre. It is used as a stabiliser, to increase the viscosity of liquids, inhibit sugar crystallisation and prepare baked goods. Its strong adhesive properties make it ideal for coating foods.

In baking, it helps dough rise and adds natural fibre to the mixture. It can add shine to marzipan and icing: more coats produce a greater shine, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. It is a key ingredient in fruit syrups, marshmallows, edible glitter and gummy sweets.
