Description: Ginkgo is a deciduous tree native to China, often referred to as a living fossil due to its ancient lineage. The tree typically grows 20–35 metres tall with a broad, fan-shaped canopy and distinctive bilobed leaves that turn bright yellow in autumn. Ginkgo trees are slow-growing and can live for centuries. The leaves are harvested from mature trees when fully developed, usually during the peak growing season, to capture their full colour, texture, and aromatic qualities.
After harvesting, the leaves are thoroughly cleaned to remove stems, dust, and other debris. They are then dried under controlled low-temperature conditions to preserve natural colour, texture, and subtle aroma. Once dried, the leaves are finely milled into a uniform, light green powder that retains the characteristic properties of the fresh foliage, providing a versatile and convenient form for various applications.
The finely ground powder is sifted to achieve consistent particle size and a smooth, free-flowing texture. This ensures easy blending, accurate measurement, and consistent performance in culinary, botanical, and creative projects while preserving the natural appearance and aroma of ginkgo leaves.
Uses: Ginkgo Leaves Powder is used in tea-style infusions, herbal blends, spice and botanical mixes, culinary flavouring, and infusion-based recipes. It is also suitable for craft projects, educational herb kits, decorative herb mixes, and creative herbal preparations where finely ground leaves provide uniform texture, colour, and aromatic contribution. The powder form allows for easy incorporation into blends, consistent distribution, and convenience in storage and handling.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container.
