CASCARA SAGRADA - Frontier Co-op Aged Cascara Sagrada Bark (Rhamnus purshiana) originates from a deciduous tree of the northern United States. This shrub must be aged for a year before usage. It provides decorative, culinary, and industrial uses.
A VARIETY OF USES - Aged cascara sagrada bark is often used in beverages and foods, especially in teas. It can also be included as an ingredient in DIY sunscreens.
EXCELLENT FLAVORING AGENT - Frontier Co-op Aged Cascara Sagrada Bark provides a sweet and fruity taste with distinctive notes of hibiscus, rosehip, redcurrant, cherry, and even tobacco. The extract of its dried bark is incorporated as a flavoring for soft drinks, ice cream, and baked goods.
SOURCED FROM THE UNITED STATES - Our cascara sagrada bark is stripped and aged for a year. It is cut and sifted to extract its properties. Our growers in the U.S. harvest this bark and allow the natural oxidation of its anthrone constituents. Frontier Co-op Aged Cascara Sagrada Bark is 100% Kosher certified and non-irradiated.
