Greek Puncturevine – Tribulus terrestris
Greek Tribulus Bundle (Tribulus terrestris) is a dried botanical raw material with a dry, earthy and distinctly herbaceous character. The product is presented whole/in a bundle and is intended for those seeking clearly identifiable herbs and specialist raw materials. As this is a natural product, its color, piece size, aroma intensity and proportion of smaller pieces may vary from batch to batch, without this alone indicating a problem.
Botanical identity and character
The botanical name Tribulus terrestris helps distinguish the product from plants with similar common names. Correct identification is especially important with dried herbs, because different species may look similar after drying. The label name, plant part used and batch details are more reliable than identification based on photographs alone.
Aroma, form and practical use
Tribulus has a history in various traditions, but it is not presented as a product for increasing testosterone, libido or athletic performance. The whole-herb form differs from standardized extracts. We do not apply one general dosage to all herbs, nor do we transfer directions for use from standardized extracts, capsules or essential oils to loose dried raw material. For recurring blends, it is preferable to weigh the ingredients so that the proportions remain consistent.
Natural variations
Drying reduces moisture and makes many plant parts more fragile. It is therefore normal for a small amount of crumbled material to collect at the bottom of the package. The color may also become darker or duller than that of the fresh plant. Always use a clean, dry utensil and reseal the package immediately after use.

For a different but related botanical raw material, see Dried Tribulus. The two products are not considered interchangeable: each plant has its own botanical identity, plant part used, aromatic profile and specific precautions.
A little Spices Bazaar secret
Keep the original label with the herb until it is finished. If you transfer it to a jar, note at least the full name and batch number. This simple practice helps prevent mix-ups when several roots, leaves or cut herbs that look alike are stored in the same cupboard.
Storage and precautions
Store in a cool, dry, dark place, tightly sealed and away from moisture, steam and strong odors. Regular use during pregnancy should be avoided, and advice from a healthcare professional is required in cases of chronic illness or medication use.
