Description
Our Shatavari Cut & Sifted offers the same premium organic Asparagus racemosus root as our Shatavari Powder, but in dried-piece form specifically designed for tea brewing and decoction making. In Ayurvedic tradition, preparing herbs as decoctions (kashaya) is considered one of the most effective methods of extraction.
The dried root pieces are sourced from certified organic farms in Northern India, carefully cleaned, cut to a consistent size, and sifted to remove dust and fine particles. If you prefer the convenience of mixing powder into drinks and food, see our Shatavari Powder. If you enjoy the ritual of brewing herbal tea, this cut & sifted form is your best choice.

Have You Heard?
In Ayurveda, the method of preparation matters as much as the herb itself. Decoctions (kashaya), where herbs are simmered in water or milk, are considered a more traditional and potent extraction method than simply mixing powder into liquid. The cut & sifted form is specifically designed for this purpose, allowing the water to slowly draw out the root's beneficial compounds over time.
FAQs:
1. How long should I simmer shatavari root pieces?
For a standard tea, simmer for 10-15 minutes. For a stronger decoction, simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the liquid reduces by half. The longer you simmer, the more concentrated the preparation.
2. Can I reuse the root pieces?
Shatavari root pieces can be simmered a second time, though the resulting tea will be milder. For maximum benefit, use fresh pieces for each preparation.
