But, turns out it's really quite easy to find, if you know what to look for. It's at your local health food store (or online), in the fiber section, sold as acacia fiber powder. Numerous brands, just double-check to make sure the only ingredient is 100% acacia powder. And you know it's a food grade product. I made up a bottle of gomme a few weeks ago. Finally had to hide it, because I was afraid my wife was going to use it all up, making Rangoon Gimlets, before I had much chance to experiment with it. I wonder... might this mean using gomme syrup in our cocktails is an effective way to get more fiber into our diet? "The rum's the thing..." [ Edited by: Limbo Lizard 2011-03-01 22:24 ]
