SUGGESTED USE:

EXTRA INFORMATION:

Acacia senegal is found across sub-Saharan Africa and is known for its gum resin. Acacia gum, or gum Arabic, is harvested, dried, then milled into a fine powder. Acacia powder is a popular addition to a multitude of products as it acts to bind formulas and stabilize emulsions.

The Acacia trees of the Darfur region of Sudan are harvested for resins variously known as Gum Arabic, Indian Gum Arabic, or Talha. Although Acacia trees are found throughout the 'Gum Belt' of sub-Saharan Africa, Chad, Eritrea, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Sudan, the plant is most abundant in Sudan.
