  • About

Gum tragacanth is obtained in a way similar to gum arabic, but it is from a shrub (Astragalus) that grows in the Middle East. Much thicker than gum arabic, gum tragacanth is probably best known to pastry chefs as an ingredient in gum paste, used by cake decorators to create flowers and other designs. Gum tragacanth is extremely expensive because its main supply is in a politically unstable part of the world. For this reason, gum tragacanth is being replaced by other gums in most foods.
