Description: Chickweed Herb Powder is produced by grinding the dried leaves and tender stems of Stellaria media, a low-growing annual herb native to Europe and naturalized in temperate regions worldwide. The plant features bright green, delicate leaves and small white star-shaped flowers along spreading stems. The plant is harvested at full leaf maturity to ensure optimal colour, texture, and quality before drying and processing into a fine, uniform powder.
After harvesting, the leaves and stems are carefully cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and excess stems, then dried under controlled conditions to preserve their natural colour and delicate texture. Once fully dried, the plant material is ground into a fine, consistent powder that maintains the natural appearance and characteristics of the herb. The powdered form allows for easy storage, handling, and precise measurement, providing a stable and versatile ingredient for various applications.
The Chickweed Herb Powder has a uniform, light green colour with a smooth texture and consistent particle size. The fine powder maintains the botanical integrity of the leaves while offering improved convenience for blending, formulation, and incorporation into other materials. It is a clean, high-quality product suitable for any application that requires processed leafy material in powdered form.
Uses: Chickweed Herb Powder is used in culinary preparations such as soups, sauces, seasoning blends, and other recipes where powdered leafy material is desired. It is also suitable for botanical craft projects, educational kits, decorative herb displays, and other applications that require finely ground, uniform plant material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
