Greek Lavender – Bunch (Lavandula spp.)
Greek Lavender – Bunch (Lavandula spp.) consists of whole dried flowering stems in a bunch, with an intense, floral, clean and characteristically lavender-like character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented based on its actual form, botanical identity and appropriate handling. Traditional references to a plant provide historical context and are not, on their own, evidence of therapeutic efficacy.
Greek Lavender – Bunch – identity and form
The designation Lavandula spp. helps avoid confusion with related plants or similar common names. The product consists of whole dried flowering stems in a bunch. We do not assume a specific country of origin, variety or concentration of natural compounds unless these are documented for the batch. Natural drying changes the texture and often the colour of the plant material.
Character and practical use
Its profile is intense, floral, clean and characteristically lavender-like. The bunch form preserves the visible natural structure of the plant and is suitable for aromatic and decorative applications in accordance with the batch labelling. We do not automatically consider every decorative lavender product food-grade. Form plays an important role: powder, whole leaf, root and bunch do not behave in the same way. When the product is approved for food use, proportions should be adjusted to the specific form and the intensity of the batch.
Why we do not equate different forms
A dried plant is not automatically equivalent to an essential oil, tincture, capsule or standardised extract. The concentration of natural compounds can vary significantly, and the precautions change accordingly. For this reason, we do not transfer dosages or instructions from one form to another. The label and the actual identity of the batch always take precedence.
Quality and proper handling
Small differences in colour, size, cut and aroma intensity are normal. Harvesting, drying and storage affect the final appearance. Use a clean, dry tool, seal the package immediately and do not put damp material back inside. If transferring to a jar, keep the original label so the batch identity is not lost.

A little Spices Bazaar secret
When opening a new batch, compare its aroma and appearance with the previous one without expecting industrial uniformity. Note the opening date, do not mix old leftovers with new product, and keep the name on the container. This simple practice greatly improves the organisation of a large herb collection.
Storage and precautions
Store tightly closed in a cool, dry and dark place, away from moisture, vapours and strong odours. For food or drinks, use only a batch labelled as suitable for that purpose. Dried plant material is not essential oil, and the instructions for the two are not interchangeable.
