Directions

In Drinks for Fibre Intake: To enjoy its benefits, simply dissolve a teaspoon of acacia gum powder in a glass of water, juice, or smoothie. Stir well until fully dissolved; the gum has a neutral taste and smooth texture, making it an easy addition to your daily routine. This provides a gentle increase in dietary fibre, promoting digestive health without altering the flavour of your favourite beverages.

Adding to Food: Enhance the texture and stability of your recipes by incorporating acacia gum. It can be used as a natural thickener and stabilizer in sauces, dressings, and baked goods. To use, simply mix a small amount into the dry ingredients or dissolve it in liquids before combining with other components. This will help improve the consistency of your dishes, extend their shelf life, and add a touch of dietary fibre.

In Watercolours: By mixing a small amount of the powder into your watercolours, you can achieve a more luminous finish with added gloss and improved flow. Acacia gum acts as a binder, enhancing the pigment's adhesion to the paper while maintaining the paint's transparency. This allows for smoother application and richer colour depth, making your artwork more vibrant and long-lasting.
