Pakistan's most trusted premium organic gond katira — naturally cooling, gut-friendly, and packed with health benefits. Essential for summer drinks, digestive wellness, and glowing skin.
Pure Gum — Nothing Hidden
Our gond katira (tragacanth gum) is a natural resin obtained from the Astragalus gummifer plant — a thorny shrub native to the mountainous regions of the Middle East and South Asia. The gum is extracted from the plant's stems, carefully dried, and triple‑cleaned without any chemical treatments. It comes in the form of small, irregular, translucent pieces that swell into a jelly‑like gel when soaked in water.
Harvested from Astragalus Gummifer — The Natural Gum Tree
Our premium Gond Katira (گوند کتیرا / Tragacanth Gum) is sourced from the Astragalus gummifer plant — a remarkable shrub that produces this precious natural resin. We bring you the finest Samagh Al Katira straight from sustainable farms to your kitchen.

Digestive Soothing & Gut Protection: The mucilaginous gel coats the stomach and intestinal lining, reducing acidity, irritation, and inflammation while supporting healthy digestion.
Skin & Respiratory Support: The hydrating properties extend to the skin and respiratory tract, helping reduce dryness, soothe coughs, and promote overall wellness.
