Desert gum: nature's gift from the heart of the desert

In the heart of the Moroccan desert, where land meets heritage, the scents of nature are evoked in their purest form, giving birth to traditional products steeped in a history of folk wisdom and botanical knowledge. Among these natural treasures, Sahrawi gum , also known as "local gum," stands out as one of the oldest and most popular products used in folk medicine and health care.

What is desert gum?

Desert gum is a natural gum extracted from certain desert trees, particularly the acacia tree. It is hand-harvested by local cooperatives that maintain traditional techniques that ensure product quality without harming the environment.

Desert gum is characterized by its brown or amber color, its hard texture that becomes soft when chewed, in addition to its light aromatic scent and natural taste.
