Special Ingredients Gum Arabic Powder 100g

Gum arabic powder (also known as acacia powder) helps sponge cakes rise and gives marzipan and icing a glossy sheen. The refined powder is made from the sap of wild acacia trees, and is also a natural source of fibre.

Gum arabic powder has many uses within the world of baking. As well as acting as a stabiliser, it is a staple ingredient when making marshmallows, soft sweets and fruit syrups as it prevents sugar crystallisation, leaving a softer, smoother texture.
