The power of plants
The Acacia Senegal Tree grows in the tropical regions of West Africa and is famous for the substance it releases when the bark is cut. Called gum Arabic or Acacia Gum, it heals any cuts on the tree and has long been used for its thickening and gelling properties. Today, it is used in the food and textile industries.
