Locust Bean Gum was used by the ancient Egyptians to bind the wrapping of mummies. Now used as a thickener in salad dressings, cosmetics, and sauces....and icre cream to prevent crystals.
Ice cream is said to be "medicine, capable of curing melancholy and lifting spirits, drowning sorrows, and bringing smiles to the most defeated of little soccer players." Without air ice cream would not be the special treat it is.
