Botanical Name: Gentiana lutea
Country of Origin: Europe
English Name: Gentian Root Powder
French Name: Poudre de Racine de Gentiane
Also Known As: Yellow Gentian Root Powder, Gentiana Root Powder, Bitter Root Powder, Gentianaceae Powder, Dried Gentian Root Powder
Part Used: Ground root of Gentiana lutea
Description: Gentian is a perennial plant native to mountainous regions of Europe, particularly the Alps and Pyrenees, where it grows in rocky, well-drained soil. The plant reaches 1–1.5 metres in height and produces large, deep green leaves along a sturdy stem. During the summer months, bright yellow, star-shaped flowers appear in dense clusters, adding to its distinctive appearance. The underground root is thick, branched, and fibrous, with a dense internal structure that develops over several years of growth.
The mature roots are harvested after full development, cleaned thoroughly to remove soil and impurities, and dried using controlled low-temperature methods to maintain their natural colour and structural integrity. The dried roots are then finely milled into a smooth powder, resulting in a uniform texture with a pale to golden-brown hue that preserves the characteristic aroma and appearance of the plant.
The powder is sifted to remove any irregular fragments, producing a consistent, free-flowing ingredient suitable for blending and formulation. Its fine texture allows for easy incorporation into culinary and botanical preparations, while the natural properties of the root give a visible and aromatic presence when used in mixtures.
Uses: Gentian Root Powder is used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, spice mixes, flavouring preparations, botanical craft projects, decorative herb jars, and educational plant kits. It is also suitable for culinary experiments, infusion-based recipes, and dry mixes where a finely ground root is preferred for even distribution, consistent texture, and natural visual and aromatic contribution. Its powder form allows easy blending and precise measuring for both small-scale and larger applications.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
