What form does this dandelion root come in and how is it prepared?

The root is supplied cut and unroasted, which means it has not been subjected to heat-roasting processes that change flavor. Cut roots are convenient for infusion, decoction, tincturing, or grinding into powder depending on your recipe needs. Because they are raw, you can control toasting, steep time, and extraction method to achieve the taste and strength you prefer.

• Cut, loose root pieces ready for tea infusions or decoctions
• Unroasted (natural) for customizable toasting or use as-is
• Suitable for tinctures, extracts, or grinding into powder

How can I use this dandelion root in my kitchen or herbal projects?

Cut dandelion root is versatile: steep as a loose-leaf tea, simmer in water for a stronger decoction, or combine with alcohol to create a tincture. It also blends well with other roots and herbs in custom tea blends or can be ground for capsules and culinary uses. Packaging in a one-pound bulk bag gives enough quantity for frequent use or small-batch production.

• Loose-leaf tea: steep 5–15 minutes to taste
• Decoction: simmer root pieces 15–30 minutes for concentrated extracts
• Tinctures/extracts: macerate in alcohol or glycerin per recipe

How should I store and measure the dandelion root to keep it fresh?

Store the root in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and color. Use an airtight container to avoid moisture and odors; a resealable bag or jar with a tight lid works well. For typical tea use, measure by teaspoon or tablespoon depending on desired strength, and scale up for larger batches or tinctures.

• Keep in airtight container, away from light and humidity
• Tea measure: 1–2 teaspoons per cup; decoctions require larger amounts
• One-pound bag provides ample supply for regular use or recipes
