This all-natural gum derives from a legume plant called Astragalus gummifer. The gum is obtained from sap that is drained from the root of the plant and dried. The gum seeps from the plant in twisted ribbons or flakes that can be powdered. It absorbs water to become a gel, which can be stirred into a paste. "Tragacanth" is based on the Greek words tragos (goat) and akantha (horn), because of the appearance of the gum when it seeps from the plant.
