Astragalus Powder - Astragalus membranaceus

Astragalus is a herbaceous perennial belonging to the pea family and has a long history of use in traditional Asian herbal practices. Our Astragalus Powder is made from organically cultivated roots of Astragalus membranaceus. Traditionally associated with vitality and balance, the root has a mildly sweet flavor that makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of foods and beverages.

Native to regions of China, Mongolia, and North Korea, Astragalus has an established place in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Historical Chinese herbal texts document the use of Astragalus root, reflecting its longstanding role in traditional herbal formulations. It is also commonly known as Huang Qi or membranous milkvetch.

The plant typically grows in sunny grasslands and mountainous areas and develops slender stems with a spreading growth habit. For traditional herbal use, the roots are generally harvested from mature plants, dried, and prepared for use. The dried root is characteristically yellowish in color and has a firm, fibrous texture with a naturally mild, sweet taste.
