Product Description
Gum Katira, also known as Tragacanth Gum, is a natural edible gum extracted from the Babool (Acacia) tree. It is renowned for its strong cooling properties and is commonly used in traditional Indian drinks, sweets, and Ayurvedic preparations. When soaked in water, Gum Katira swells into a soft, jelly-like substance that is refreshing and easy to consume.
This natural gum is rich in fiber and helps cool the body, making it a popular ingredient during the summer months. It is commonly used in beverages like falooda, sharbat, lemonade, and milk-based drinks. It also supports digestion, boosts hydration, and provides relief from heat-related issues.
Gum Katira is appreciated for its versatility and health benefits — including natural cooling, improved digestion, energy boost, and skin support. Because of its neutral taste, it blends well with flavored drinks, desserts, kulfis, and sweet dishes.
With its natural cooling effect and nutritional benefits, Gum Katira is a must-have ingredient in Indian households, especially during hot weather.
