Jiaogulan (Gynostemma pentaphyllum) is a climbing plant in the Cucurbitaceae family, known for its distinctive botanical identity and its place in traditional Asian herbal cultures. Jiaogulan powder is made from the plant’s dried leaves, which are ground into a fine, uniform form, retaining their natural color, aroma, and flavor profile. Its modern powdered form makes it easy to incorporate into drinks, smoothies, herbal blends, and culinary creations that call for a clean, pronounced herbal character.

The Ingredient We Use

We use 100% pure jiaogulan powder, with no additives, colorants, or flavor enhancers. The leaves are gently dried to preserve the plant’s natural character, then finely ground for easy blending into liquids and creamy preparations. The powder ranges in color from deep green to dark olive, depending on the batch and natural drying conditions.

Botanical Identity

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a climbing plant that thrives in the mountainous, humid regions of China, Japan, and Southeast Asia. It belongs to the same family as cucumber and pumpkin, but stands out for its delicate, compound foliage and distinctive herbal flavor. Its botanical identity makes it unique among natural products, combining a clean, pronounced herbal character with a distinctive botanical balance.
