Tara Gum

Tara gum, also known as Peruvian carob, is a fully natural ingredient widely used as a food additive, listed under the code E417 in the EU. It is produced from the seeds of Caesalpinia spinosa – a plant from the Leguminosae family, occurring in South America in the regions of Peru and Bolivia. Its fruits are handpicked and sun-dried before grinding the endosperm from the seeds into a white or yellowish powder.
