Organic rhubarb root is cut and sifted into firm, earthy pieces for herbal tea preparations. This is the root of Rheum palmatum, not the tender rhubarb stalk commonly used in pies and jams.
Root Character
The dried pieces have a warm brown color, a woody aroma, and a strong, bitter taste. Their cut form makes the botanical easy to identify and measure in a loose preparation.
Traditional Context
Rhubarb root has a history in botanical traditions across Asia and beyond. We offer this product as an herbal tea ingredient. Read and follow the product's directions and warnings before use; its pronounced character is different from culinary rhubarb stalk.
Also Known As: Turkish Rhubarb
