Gum Tragacanth replacement - Tylos Powder - CMC Powder

by Bakers Authority

Gum Tragacanth, very simply, is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of a species of Middle Eastern legumes. What Bakers Authority shipped me is Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose. This is not gum tragacanth, a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of a species of Middle Eastern legumes. When I complained, they told me it was the same item - which it is not. It's like ordering sugar cane and getting beet sugar and being told it is the same thing. When one Googles Gum Tragacanth, the Wikipedia page explaining what it is, and an ad showing a big tub from Bakers Authority labeled Gum Tragacanth show up together. That's not what they are actually selling. They refunded me but that now entails my going to a post office during a pandemic. It would be fairer if they simply sold what they advertised.
