Dandelion Root Cut Taraxacum Officinale - Bulk - 1KG

Features

Description

Dandelion Root Cut is dried cut root from Taraxacum officinale , traditionally prepared as a simmered herbal decoction. The root has a deeper, earthier profile than dandelion herb, making it a popular choice for bitter-style cups, after-meal blends and kitchen-friendly herbal preparations. Because it is a root ingredient, it is best prepared with gentle heat rather than a quick steep.

The cut format is easy to measure, strains cleanly after simmering and works well for repeat preparation and regular blending. Why we love it: Dandelion Root Cut is a steady, practical botanical with a grounded, earthy character. It pairs beautifully with other roots and warming spices, and the bulk format is ideal for repeat blending and herbal cupboard staples.
