{"product_id":"kigchoni-apoxiramenos-floios-cinchona","title":"Quinine – Dried Bark (Cinchona)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCinchona – Dried Bark\u003c\/strong\u003e (Cinchona spp.) is cut dried bark with a very bitter, woody and intense character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented based on its actual form and available botanical identity, without turning traditional references or popular online claims into therapeutic promises. As a natural raw material, it may show normal variations in color, cut and aroma intensity between batches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCinchona – Dried Bark – identity and form\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical reference is \u003cem\u003eCinchona spp.\u003c\/em\u003e. The product is available as cut dried bark. Accurate identification is particularly important when a common trade name covers more than one species or when different plant parts are sold under similar names. We do not assume a country of origin, variety or concentration of active constituents unless these are documented for the batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAroma, taste and practical use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe profile is very bitter, woody and intense. Cinchona bark is a historically important source of alkaloids such as quinine. This does not mean that the bulk product is a safe way to prepare medicinal quinine. We do not provide DIY therapeutic dosages or instructions for making homemade “tonic” for medical purposes. The form affects how quickly aroma or taste is released: powder behaves differently from whole root, bark or leaf. For repeat preparations, we weigh the amount and keep notes rather than relying solely on volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBulk raw material and concentrated products\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dried plant, mushroom or spice is not automatically equivalent to a capsule, tincture, standardized extract or essential oil. Concentration and method of use can vary greatly. For this reason, we do not copy dosages or claims from another form. Any specific labeling on the batch takes precedence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality and proper handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNatural raw materials do not need to have exactly the same color and size with every delivery. Harvesting, drying, grinding and storage time affect appearance and aroma. Use a clean, dry tool, seal the package immediately and do not return wet material to it. Moisture is one of the main enemies of dried products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor comparison, also see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lapacho-floios-pau-d-arco\"\u003eLapacho – Pau d’Arco Bark\u003c\/a\u003e. The related product is not a substitute for this one. Even when two products look similar or have traditional uses in common, they may differ in species, plant part, cut, concentration and precautions. The full name is always more informative than a general category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar secret\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the original label when transferring the product to a jar and note the date it was opened. Do not mix different batches. This allows you to compare the aroma and appearance of each delivery, organize your stock more effectively and know which raw material was used in a particular recipe or blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep tightly closed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, steam and strong odors. Cinchona alkaloids can cause serious adverse effects and interactions. Particular caution is required with heart conditions, medications, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not use for self-treatment of malaria or any other disease.\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":54895940895047,"sku":"SB-HER-52851-050","price":3.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":54895940927815,"sku":"SB-HER-52851-100","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":54895940960583,"sku":"SB-HER-52851-500","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 g","offer_id":54895940993351,"sku":"SB-HER-52851-1K","price":60.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/1805\/5751\/files\/kigchoni-floios-spices-bazaar-top.png?v=1790625582","url":"https:\/\/spices-bazaar-2.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/kigchoni-apoxiramenos-floios-cinchona","provider":"Spices Bazaar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
