Sidr Powder
Part of our Herbs range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Sidr Powder is made from the dried leaves of the sidr tree, Ziziphus spina-christi, a hardy thorny tree of the Middle East and North Africa. In Arab countries, sidr leaf powder has been used for centuries as a natural shampoo and body wash, and it holds special importance in Islamic tradition. The tree is also famous for the sought-after sidr honey made by bees that feed on its flowers.
Arizone International supplies Sidr Leaf Powder for natural hair-care and cosmetic brands, Middle Eastern markets, herbal companies, wholesalers and exporters.
About the Sidr Tree
Ziziphus spina-christi, also called Christ's thorn jujube or lote tree, grows in dry regions of the Arabian Peninsula, Yemen, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan and nearby countries. It is a deep-rooted, drought-tolerant evergreen with small, shiny leaves, sharp thorns and small yellow fruits called nabq, which are eaten fresh or dried. Its name appears in religious texts, and the lote tree is mentioned in the Quran. In India, a related tree, Ziziphus mauritiana (ber), is common.
