Description: Blue Cohosh Root Powder is produced from the dried roots of Caulophyllum thalictroides, a perennial woodland plant native to eastern North America. The plant grows 60–100 cm tall, with large compound leaves and small clusters of yellowish-green flowers. Mature roots are carefully harvested, cleaned to remove natural debris, and dried to preserve their dense, fibrous structure. Once dried, the roots are finely milled into a uniform powder that retains the natural brown tones and texture of the original material.
The roots of Caulophyllum thalictroides are thick and fibrous, with a firm texture and characteristic woody appearance. When processed into powder, the material maintains its natural colour and structure in a finely milled form, allowing for easy blending into dry mixtures, botanical formulations, or craft applications that require smooth, consistent plant material.
The harvested roots are washed, dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods, and milled to achieve a fine, even powder. This process preserves the natural characteristics of the root while creating a convenient, versatile form for creative and visual applications.
Uses: Blue Cohosh Root Powder is used in dry botanical blends, educational herb kits, resin art, decorative craft mixtures, and visual plant displays. Its fine texture and natural colour make it suitable for culinary-style dry mixes, natural dyeing experiments, and creative projects where a smooth, consistent powdered root ingredient is desired.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
