Gum arabic

Gum Arabic is a natural substance that comes from the sap of certain trees, like acacia trees. It's a little bit like honey, but instead of being sticky and sweet, it's sticky and tasteless. People use it to help make things stick together, like glue. But it's also used in food, like chewing gum, because it makes things chewier and can help keep them moist. Gum Arabic is really important because it's a safe and natural way to help make things stick together, without using any yucky chemicals.
