🌿 What Is Persian Gum (Gum Zedo)?

Persian Gum is a natural, odorless exudate resin collected from wild Prunus species. It appears as transparent or amber-colored granules and is water-soluble. It’s prized for its binding, thickening, and emulsifying properties—similar in function to gum arabic or tragacanth.
