Flavour and how to use them

Most herbal powders taste earthy, grassy or bitter. Dandelion, burdock and milk thistle are earthy, valerian has a strong and distinctive smell, and lavender and rosemary are aromatic, so a pinch is plenty. Maca is malty and butterscotch-like and is the easiest to enjoy in smoothies, porridge and baking. For a simple herbal tea, stir half a teaspoon into a cup of hot water, leave it for a few minutes and strain if you prefer. Always follow the directions on each product page. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking any medication, speak to your GP or pharmacist before using herbal powders.

Storing and sizes

Keep powders in their resealable pouch or an airtight jar somewhere cool, dry and dark, and always use a dry spoon so moisture doesn't cause clumping. Colour and aroma fade over time, so choose the size that suits how often you use it. Most powders come in sizes from small packs up to larger bags, and UK orders over £50 get free delivery.
