Description
Gond katira is the original summer cooler - centuries before air conditioning, South Asian families soaked these natural gum crystals in water overnight and mixed the resulting translucent gel into cold milk drinks to combat summer heat from the inside out.
Dr. HERBALIST Gond Katira delivers 200g of natural tragacanth gum (Astragalus tragacantha) crystals. Soak one tablespoon in a bowl of water overnight. By morning, the crystals expand 10x their original volume into a clear, jelly-like gel with a neutral taste and a cooling mouthfeel. Mix into cold milk with rose water, sugar, and sabja seeds for the traditional summer sherbet.
Gond katira is valued in Unani medicine as a 'cooling' food - categorized as having a cold temperament that helps regulate body heat during extreme summer months.* The cooling sensation is not psychological. The gel's water-holding capacity creates a physical cooling effect in the digestive tract.*
200g provides many weeks of summer drink preparation. Store dry crystals in a sealed container away from moisture.
*Traditional use based on Unani temperament classification, not FDA-evaluated claims.
