Part Used: Leaves of the plant, Plantago major

Description: Plantain Leaves Powder is produced from the mature leaves of Plantago major, a perennial herb in the Plantaginaceae family widely distributed across temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and North America. The plant grows close to the ground in rosette form, producing broad, oval leaves with smooth margins and distinct parallel veins. These leaves develop throughout the growing season, emerging in early spring and continuing through late summer in open grasslands, fields, and uncultivated areas.

Leaves are harvested during peak vegetative growth when they are fully expanded and display a rich green colour and firm structure. At harvest, the leaves show clearly defined veining and a slightly leathery surface. Only clean, intact leaves are collected to ensure consistent colour and texture prior to processing. This stage of harvest allows the leaves to maintain their natural structure before drying and milling.

After harvesting, the leaves are thoroughly cleaned to remove soil and field debris, then dried under controlled low-temperature conditions to reduce moisture while preserving their natural colour and leaf integrity. Once fully dried, the leaves are finely milled into a smooth, free-flowing powder. The resulting powder ranges from muted green to olive green in colour and has a soft, slightly fibrous texture.

The finished Plantain Leaves Powder offers uniform particle size and stable consistency, making it suitable for precise measurement and blending. The powder maintains the visual characteristics of dried leaf material and disperses evenly in dry formulations. Its fine texture and consistent appearance support its use in a variety of formulation, manufacturing, and educational applications.

Uses: Plantain Leaves Powder is commonly used in tea-style infusions, dry herbal blends, and powdered beverage mixes where uniform dispersion is required. It is suitable for cosmetic and personal care formulations such as soaps, lotions, masks, and bath products. The powder is also used in crafting projects, natural colouring applications, and educational botanical collections. Its fine consistency makes it appropriate for manufacturing processes that require evenly milled plant-based powders.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
