Gum arabic is a naturally occurring resin that is harvested from the Acacia Senegal tree in Kenya.
Acacia gum contains water-soluble dietary fibers that are not only good fiber for your diet but also helpful in keeping your cholesterol under control. One study showed that taking 15 grams of acacia gum daily helped manage the concentration of plasma cholesterols in blood. This fiber works as a prebiotic in the human digestive system and can significantly increase levels of good bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics are used as food by probiotics to grow and flourish in the gut. Gum Arabic can also help you maintain a healthy weight and is good for general cardiovascular health.
Gum Arabic has also been a sought after ingredient (as “gomme syrup“) for centuries when making craft cocktails. Because of the added texture and reduced surface tension, cocktails feel more luscious and luxurious on the tongue, and the flavors of liqueurs coat the mouth making them taste delightfully rich.
Gum arabic is commonly added to icings, creams, and sauces to give them a creamy consistency, used in pastries and candies to improve their texture, and as a stabilizer in beverages and ice creams to prevent crystallization. Additionally, it acts as an emulsifying agent to mix ingredients like oil and water homogeneously.
How to use gum arabic powder: add a teaspoon to room temperature water, and allow it to sit overnight so the powdered resin dissolves completely. Then, use this concentrated mixture in your smoothies, juice, soup, salad dressing and more – you can even drink it with plain water, since the powder has no significant taste.
