Part Used: Dried root of Arctium lappa, finely milled into powder

Description: Burdock Root Powder is made from the mature roots of Arctium lappa, a biennial plant native to Europe and Asia and now grown in many temperate regions. The plant develops large basal leaves and tall flowering stalks, supported by thick roots that grow deep into the soil. These roots naturally form a dense, fibrous internal structure and an earthy brown exterior that remains characteristic even after drying and milling. When ground into powder, they produce a fine material with a soft texture and natural plant aroma suitable for culinary, craft, and formulation uses.

As the plant matures, Arctium lappa produces elongated taproots that store nutrients throughout the growing cycle. These roots have a firm texture and visible internal fibres, which contribute to the powder’s natural consistency once processed. Even in powdered form, the botanical identity remains clear through its colour, aroma, and texture, which reflect the original structure of the root. This makes the powder practical for applications where a recognizable plant-derived ingredient is preferred.

The production process begins by gathering fully developed roots, which are thoroughly washed to remove soil. After cleaning, the roots are dried under controlled warm-air or shade conditions until they reach a stable, low-moisture state. Once dried, they are milled using mechanical grinding equipment designed to produce a uniform particle size. The powder is then sifted to remove oversized particles, resulting in a smooth, consistent botanical material suitable for blending, mixing, and craft-oriented uses.

Uses: Burdock Root Powder is used in culinary applications such as seasoning mixes, vegetable-based preparations, and natural flavour blends. It is also incorporated into botanical craft projects, natural colour experiments, resin work, and educational herb displays. In cosmetic formulation, it may be used in dry masks, scrubs, and other plant-based products where a fine botanical powder provides texture, bulk, or natural colour.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
