Gum acacia, also known as gum arabic, is derived from the sap of the acacia tree and is used in products, such as our Ranch Dressing, as an emulsifier to improve consistency and ingredient blending. The FDA has assigned the Acceptable Daily Intake level for gum acacia as “not specific”—a designation given to ingredients with little to no toxic possibility. 

A small-scale human trial published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that when healthy men ingested a daily helping of 25 grams of gum acacia, the only effects experienced were a slight reduction in cholesterol serum and an increase in breath hydrogen, which is a marker of intestinal bacteria metabolism. The British Journal of Nutrition published a study that confirmed the prebiotic potential of gum acacia. Healthy volunteers who consumed gum acacia showed an increase in the growth of beneficial gut bacteria bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. In fact, the researchers concluded that gum acacia was as effective as the prebiotic inulin, which is a popular prebiotic supplement!

Coconut aminos are a gluten-free, soy-free combination of aged coconut sap and sea salt that tastes similar to soy sauce. Mixed with the other ingredients in Primal Kitchen’s Green Goddess, this ingredient adds a slightly sweet and salty flavor to give our dressings an extra zip of flavor.

Nutritional yeast has long been considered a healthy dietary supplement because it’s both low in calories and carbs, and high in protein. It's often used as a cheese replacement in dairy-free recipes because it has a naturally cheesy, nutty, savory taste. Nutritional yeast also contains iron, fiber, folic acid, selenium, zinc and B vitamins, including vitamin B12. Many people who avoid meat add nutritional yeast to their diet for B12 supplementation. Nutritional yeast is made from the single-celled organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is grown on molasses, whey or wood pulp, and then harvested, washed and dried with heat to deactivate it. Because it is not “active,” nutritional yeast doesn’t grow inside your stomach and deprive you of nutrients like baking nutritional yeast can. Nutritional yeast is naturally gluten free. It is not derived from gluten, nor does it contain gluten. It is Kosher, Vegan and Non-GMO.
