Here's a breakdown:
- Source: It's harvested from the stems of the Moringa oleifera tree.
- Composition: Moringa gum is primarily a polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate.
- Appearance: Initially, the gum is white. However, upon exposure to air, it transitions to a reddish-brown color and eventually darkens to black.
- Occurrence: The Moringa oleifera tree thrives in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide.
