Does anyone know the difference between Heather's Acacia and other organic acacia? I purchased an organic acacia powder which is brown and I understand Heather's is white? Just curious if there would be a big difference in the two types? The brand I purchased is Tribez.

the highest quality acacia is acacia senegal, which is what we use for the Tummy Fiber. It's white, tasteless, odorless.

The other variety is acacia seyal. It's a much cheaper grade, it's brown, and it has a taste. Personally, I would never package that grade of acacia for customers.

I use Heather's Acacia. I love it since I can just pour some in a water bottle, shake it, it dissolves and ready to use. I don't taste it at all.

I alternate between C and D. But the EFI diet and teas have helped me a lot!
