Katila Gum (Tragacanth Gum)~ 100 Gm

Product Overview

Our Katila Gum consists of high-quality, crystalline flakes sourced from the sap of the Astragalus herb. When soaked in water overnight, these hard crystals expand significantly into a soft, translucent, and tasteless gel. This 100g pack is meticulously cleaned and free from bark or grit, ensuring a smooth texture perfect for health drinks and traditional desserts.

Key Features

• Natural Cooling Agent: Widely used in Ayurvedic traditions to help regulate body temperature and prevent heatstroke during summer.
• 100% Plant-Based: A vegan-friendly, natural thickener that is completely free from additives or preservatives.
• High Expansion Power: A small amount of crystals absorbs a large volume of water, making this 100g pack last for many servings.
• Tasteless & Versatile: Since it has no flavor of its own, it seamlessly blends into any beverage or dessert without altering the taste.
• Pure Quality: Features clean, off-white crystals that yield a clear, appetizing jelly once soaked.

Nutritional & Health Benefits

• Hydration & Vitality: Helps the body retain moisture and provides a refreshing boost of energy.
• Digestive Support: Known for its mild laxative properties, it helps in maintaining regular bowel movements and soothing the digestive tract.
• Skin Health: Traditionally used in face masks or consumed to help improve skin texture and combat signs of aging.
• Bone & Joint Strength: Often consumed in winter (in "Ladoo" form) to support joint health and provide strength.

How to Use

1.      Preparation (Essential): Soak 1–2 teaspoons of Katila Gum in a large bowl of water overnight (at least 8–10 hours). It will swell into a thick, jelly-like mass. Drain any excess water before use.

2.      Summer Cooling Drink: Mix the soaked gel into a glass of cold milk, rose syrup (Rooh Afza), or fresh lemonade for a refreshing treat.

3.      Traditional Desserts: Add the jelly to Falooda, Kulfi, or fruit custards for an interesting texture and cooling effect.

4.      Nutritional Ladoo: In winter, the dry gum is often fried in ghee (where it puffs up) and added to traditional energy balls for strength.

5.      Pro Tip: Always ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day when consuming Katila Gum to maximize its digestive benefits.
