Description: Echinacea Purpurea Herb C/S is prepared from the aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea, a perennial flowering plant native to eastern and central regions of North America. The plant is recognized for its broad green leaves, sturdy stems, and large purple coneflower blossoms, which are harvested at maturity to ensure consistent botanical quality and uniform colour.
After harvesting, the herb material is carefully cleaned to remove coarse stems, soil particles, and field debris. It is then dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving the natural green to light brown tones of the leaves and stems. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform pieces for consistent appearance and easy handling.
The finished echinacea purpurea herb C/S is lightweight and fibrous with a leafy to slightly woody texture and a uniform cut size. The processed form preserves the natural structure of the plant, providing a stable and visually consistent botanical ingredient suitable for blending, storage, and various applications.
Uses: Echinacea Purpurea Herb C/S is used in tea-style infusions, herbal beverage blends, botanical craft projects, decorative herb displays, and educational herb kits. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, natural dye work, and creative applications where dried aerial plant material is valued for its texture, colour, and botanical presentation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
