🌿 What is Gond Katira?
Gond Katira, also known as Tragacanth Gum, is a crystalline, jelly-like natural gum sourced from the Astragalus plant species. This traditional Ayurvedic ingredient is prized in India and the Middle East for its cooling, healing, and restorative powers.
Unlike common gums, Gond Katira is non-sticky, and when soaked in water, it expands into a translucent jelly that can be added to a variety of foods and drinks.
