{"product_id":"taraxako-apoxiramena-fylla","title":"Dandelion – Dried Leaves – Taraxacum officinale","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDandelion – Dried Leaves – Taraxacum officinale\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of dried leaves with a green, herbaceous, distinctively bitter character. At Spices Bazaar, it is presented as genuine botanical raw material, with an emphasis on correct botanical identity, form, and responsible use. Natural variations in color, cut, and aroma from batch to batch are expected with dried plants and do not, in themselves, indicate a change in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDandelion – Dried Leaves – botanical identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cem\u003eTaraxacum officinale\u003c\/em\u003e helps distinguish this product from other plants with similar common names. Identification is especially important when the product has been dried and cut, as different species can look alike. We do not assume a specific country of origin, chemical composition, or variety unless these are documented in the details for the specific batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eForm, aroma, and natural variations\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product has a green, herbaceous, distinctively bitter profile. Drying reduces moisture and makes the plant material more brittle, so it is normal to find smaller pieces or a little plant powder at the bottom. Aroma intensity is affected by the harvest, the age of the raw material, the cut, and storage. Keep the packaging closed and always use a dry utensil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUse and practical information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDandelion leaves differ from dried root and should not be treated as the same raw material. The bitter taste is a natural characteristic. The plant’s traditional use does not justify claims of detoxification, weight loss, or treatment of liver problems. Bulk dried raw material is not equivalent to a standardized extract, essential oil, or supplement. For this reason, we do not copy dosages or claims from different forms of the same plant. If specific use instructions are provided for the batch, they take precedence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to assess a dried herb\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood handling starts with clear identification and proper storage. We do not judge an herb solely by how green, aromatic, or uniform it looks. Some plants naturally darken after drying, while others lose some of their aroma when cut very finely. For repeated preparations, it is useful to keep notes on the batch and the quantity used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRelated product in the catalog\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor comparison with a different botanical raw material, see \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/tsoyknida-apoxiramena-fylla\"\u003eNettle – Dried Leaves\u003c\/a\u003e. The related product is not a substitute: the botanical identity, plant part used, and precautions differ. This distinction is especially useful when creating herbal blends or organizing a professional stock of multiple similar raw materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA little Spices Bazaar tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you transfer the product to a jar, do not throw away the original label. At a minimum, note the full name and batch, and do not mix old stock with a new delivery. This makes it easy to check which raw material was used and maintain greater consistency in each subsequent preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStorage and precautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore tightly sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from moisture, steam, and strong odors. Caution is advised in cases of biliary problems, kidney disease, use of diuretics or other medications, and allergy to Asteraceae.
