Introduction: Peach gum is a resin secreted from peach trees. Its composition is similar to other plant gums, and it is a low-calorie food^1. The main components of peach gum are galactose and glucose, with small amounts of protein, fat, and fiber. Approximately 10-20 grams of protein and 0.1-0.2 grams of fat can be found in every 100 grams of peach gum, with the majority being water and soluble dietary fiber.Good quality peach gum has a natural color, and the darker it is, the better. Avoid selecting peach gum that is overly bright or transparent in color. Peach gum does not have a fixed size; if it appears to have a uniform size, be cautious as it may be fake. High-quality peach gum takes a longer time to soak, usually more than 10 hours, and has a very high rate of expansion. Typically, 2 to 3 pieces are enough to soak and expand into a large bowl, while lower-quality peach gum has a lower expansion rate.
