Tragacanth Gum (Gond Katira)

Tragacanth gum, commonly known as gond katira, is a natural plant-based gum valued for its excellent thickening and stabilizing properties. When soaked in water, it swells into a jelly-like texture and is widely used in beverages, desserts, and traditional cooling drinks. It is also used in food formulations where texture and consistency are important.
