Acacia seyal is a tree that grows wild and naturally in arid regions of Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. It produces a sap which hardens into a darker natural organic gum. The gum produced by Acacia seyal is often referred to as “Gum Talha”.
The gum of Acacia seyal is used primarily as a stabilizer in the food industry, though it also has a wide range of industrial applications such as being used in production of paints, cosmetics, glue, and viscosity control in textile industries.
Acacia seyal is also highly valued for its medicinal properties and used for colds, diarrhoea, haemorrhages, jaundice, headaches and burns. It is even used as an analgesic.
Nagaad Gums, in collaboration with the local communities, harvests the gum for further processing and sales.
