Gum Tragacanth from Phan Thiet, Bình Thuận

It typically takes 5-7 years for the tree to begin producing gum tragacanth.

Initially, this gum is clear white, becoming either opaque or translucent. Once dried, it takes on a light brown or white hue, depending on its age and the tree’s growing conditions.
