Description: Echinacea Purpurea Root C/S is prepared from the mature roots of Echinacea purpurea, a perennial flowering plant native to eastern and central regions of North America. The plant develops a thick, fibrous root system that is harvested at full maturity to ensure consistent size, colour, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the roots are carefully cleaned to remove soil, fine rootlets, and field debris. They are then sliced into sections and dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving the natural tan to light brown colour and fibrous internal structure of the roots.
Once fully dried, the root slices are cut and sifted into uniform pieces. The finished echinacea purpurea root C/S consists of firm, fibrous fragments with a consistent appearance, providing a stable botanical ingredient suitable for blending, storage, and applications.
Uses: Echinacea Purpurea Root 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 root 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.
