Description: Blue Cohosh Root C/S is produced from the dried roots of Caulophyllum thalictroides, a perennial woodland plant native to eastern North America. The plant typically grows 60–100 cm tall, forming large compound leaves and small clusters of yellowish-green flowers in spring. The rhizomes are harvested after the plant has reached maturity, carefully cleaned to remove natural soil and debris, and dried to preserve their dense, fibrous structure and dark brown exterior. Once dried, the roots are cut into uniform pieces and sifted to create a consistent botanical material suitable for decorative and craft applications.
Caulophyllum thalictroides forms thick, fleshy roots with a firm texture and distinctive coloration. When dried and processed, the roots maintain their natural brown tones and fibrous structure, with the cut-and-sifted form providing manageable pieces that blend easily into botanical mixtures, visual displays, and educational collections.
The harvested roots are washed, dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods, and mechanically cut and sifted to achieve a uniform grade. The resulting material preserves the natural appearance and structural integrity of the original root.
Uses: Blue Cohosh Root C/S is used in botanical craft projects, decorative jar displays, resin art, potpourri-style mixtures, and educational herb kits. Its dense, fibrous texture and uniform cut make it ideal for creative projects and visual arrangements requiring identifiable dried root material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
