Burdock Root Powder

Burdock Root Powder is made from the dried taproot of Arctium lappa, a large biennial plant from the daisy family. The root is an everyday vegetable in Japan, a classic "cleansing" herb in Western and Chinese traditions, and a popular ingredient in herbal teas, hair oils and sea moss blends.

Arizone International supplies Burdock Root Powder for herbal tea brands, supplement manufacturers, hair-care and cosmetic companies, food businesses, wholesalers and exporters.

A Root With Many Traditions

Burdock grows wild across Europe and Asia and has spread to many other parts of the world. Its round, hooked burrs cling to fur and clothing, and they famously inspired the invention of Velcro. The long, slender root can grow close to a metre deep. In Japan, it is called gobo and is cooked in dishes such as kinpira gobo, a stir-fry of burdock and carrot. In traditional Chinese medicine, burdock seed is used, while in Western herbalism the root has long been paired with dandelion as a spring tonic, as in the British drink "dandelion and burdock".

In Eastern Europe, burdock root oil, made by infusing the root in oil, is a well-known traditional hair treatment for the scalp.

Safety Notes

Burdock belongs to the daisy family, so people allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums or marigolds may react to it. It may lower blood sugar and has a mild diuretic effect. People on diabetes medicines or diuretics, and pregnant or breastfeeding women, should consult a doctor. Wild-harvested burdock can be confused with toxic look-alike roots, which is why reliable sourcing and identity testing are essential.

Quality Parameters

• Arctium lappa root identity and adulteration screening
• Moisture, ash and particle size
• Inulin content where specified

Packaging and Storage

Burdock Root Powder is packed in moisture-proof, food-grade bags. Because inulin-rich powders absorb moisture, it should be stored sealed in a cool, dry place.

Its mild, earthy taste makes it easy to blend into teas.

Tips for Buyers and Formulators

Burdock root powder is often used in herbal teas and skin wellness blends. Ask for identity testing, as burdock can be confused with other roots, and keep the powder dry.
