Ever felt your body burning under the sun and wished for a drink that cools from within?

Product Description

BundeliHub offers Gond Katira (Pure Tragacanth Gum) – 250 g — a resinous, natural gum traditionally used in Ayurvedic recipes, summer drinks, and digestive remedies. Gond Katira (also called “goond katee­ra” or “tragacanth gum”) is valued for its ability to absorb water, become gelatinous, and impart a cooling, soothing effect.

This product is marketed as 100% natural, food-grade, and suited for summer drinks & digestion — ideal for those wanting to beat the heat with a traditional tonic.

Bundelkhand Heritage & Tradition

In Bundelkhand, ancestral kitchens would collect “goond” or gum from local shrubs and use it in sherbets, cooling beverages, and medicinal tonics during hot months. Gond Katira, though more commonly associated with Himalayan or desert regions, finds resonance in Bundelkhand’s herbal lore as a cooling aide for summers. BundeliHub’s product connects that regional climate need with a traditional remedy.

Ingredients & Preparation

Ingredients: Pure tragacanth gum resin (Gond Katira). No additives, preservatives, or synthetic agents claimed (based on product listing).

Preparation / Use:

  • Soak 1–2 teaspoons (≈ 2–5 g) of gond katira in water (cool or warm) for several hours (often overnight).

  • It swells up and forms a gel-like, mucilaginous texture.

  • Use this gel in drinks (lemonade, sherbet), milk, smoothies, or even desserts.

  • It is often combined with sugar / jaggery, lemon, herbs, or cooling agents.

Because it’s a resinous gum, it should not be consumed dry; hydration is key to safe use.
