{"product_id":"ekoyizeto-polykompi","title":"Horsetail – Field Horsetail (Equisetum arvense)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorsetail – Equisetum arvense\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of dried aerial parts with a dry, grassy and slightly earthy character. It is a natural raw material, not a standardized medicinal product. At Spices Bazaar, the description focuses on botanical identity, the product’s actual form and responsible use, without turning a plant’s historical presence into an unsubstantiated therapeutic promise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHorsetail – botanical identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cem\u003eEquisetum arvense\u003c\/em\u003e is important when there are related species, different common names or multiple commercial forms. The product is sold as dried aerial parts. We do not assume a specific country of origin, variety or active constituent content when this is not documented for the batch. The label remains the primary reference for its exact identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eForm, aroma and natural variations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts profile is dry, grassy and slightly earthy. Drying removes much of the moisture, resulting in changes to the color, texture and intensity of the aroma. Smaller pieces or a little natural plant powder at the bottom are to be expected. The harvest, cut and storage time can also affect its appearance without changing its basic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUse and practical information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEquisetum arvense is a botanically ancient plant with distinctive jointed stems. It is not presented as a treatment for fluid retention, urinary or kidney problems, and uncontrolled prolonged use is not recommended. Dosages for capsules, tinctures, essential oils or standardized extracts should not automatically be applied to the bulk raw material. If the batch is intended for food or beverages, follow the relevant instructions. Weighing and recording the proportions can help when preparing it repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to preserve quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eProper storage is just as important as initial quality. Moisture, steam, heat and strong light accelerate the deterioration of the aroma and appearance. Use a clean, dry spoon or pair of tongs, seal the package immediately and do not return any material that has already become wet. Do not mix different batches in the same container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo compare it with another form or a different botanical raw material, see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/polykompo-matso\"\u003eHorsetail – Bunch\u003c\/a\u003e. This link does not mean that the two products are interchangeable. The plant part used, cut, species and concentration of natural constituents can vary significantly, affecting both practical use and precautions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar secret\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you open a new batch, note the date and keep the original label, even if you transfer the product to a jar. This lets you compare the aroma, cut and appearance with the previous delivery based on what you can actually observe, rather than relying on memory alone. Traceability is especially useful in a professional storage facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry and dark place, away from moisture and strong odors. Caution is advised in cases of kidney or heart disease, fluid restriction, or use of diuretics or other medications. Professional guidance is required during pregnancy and breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover more flavors, aromas and stories from around the world.\u003c\/strong\u003e Follow Spices Bazaar on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/www.SpicesBazaar.gr\"\u003eFacebook\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Aiodigoseyexias\"\u003eYouTube\u003c\/a\u003e for new arrivals, suggestions and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spices Bazaar","offers":[{"title":"50 g","offer_id":54895933980999,"sku":"SB-HER-40251-050","price":5.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":54895934013767,"sku":"SB-HER-40251-100","price":5.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":54895934046535,"sku":"SB-HER-40251-500","price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 g","offer_id":54895934079303,"sku":"SB-HER-40251-1K","price":55.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/1805\/5751\/files\/spices-bazaar-ekouizeto-top_6ec845c0-f666-4d4b-a82f-1e6ff2bfc4f1.webp?v=1793371359","url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ekoyizeto-polykompi","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
