Raw Material Natural Characteristics

Actaea racemosa is a perennial herb whose underground rhizome naturally accumulates a range of plant substances during growth. Our whole dried black cohosh rhizome is harvested at the proper growth stage, then gently dried and sorted to keep the natural rhizome structure and original mild earthy herbal flavour. With stable physical properties and flexible application options, this botanical raw material fits the global market trend for natural, plant-based and clean-label food ingredients.

• Natural Rhizome Source: Harvested from mature black cohosh plants (Actaea racemosa), sourced from stable planting areas, without mixing with other plant rhizomes or roots.

• Mild Drying Process: Low-temperature drying treatment reduces moisture while limiting heat impact, helping maintain the natural aroma and texture of black cohosh rhizome.

• Consistent Grading Standard: Unified sorting and size classification ensure similar rhizome dimensions and appearance between batches, convenient for end product formulation and packaging design.

• Wide Application Flexibility: Whole rhizome pieces can be used directly or cut into smaller pieces, compatible with many beverage and food systems for different production needs.
