Product description

FRONTIER CO-OP MARSHMALLOW ROOT

RECIPE: MARSHMALLOW ROOT TEA

Frontier Co-op Marshmallow Root is processed from the root of the marshmallow plant.

Althea, the botanical name, literally means healer in Greek. Used for millenia for both food and its wellness properties, Marshmallow is an herbaceous perennial often found growing wildly in damp areas.

While cultivation began in medieval times in monasteries and kitchen gardens, today this plant is grown commercially throughout Europe. Considered threatened in parts of Europe with restrictions on the wildcrafted plant, our Marshmallow Root is organically grown and harvested in Bulgaria.

Frontier Co-op Marshmallow Root (Althea officinalis) is a key ingredient in many syrups, teas, ointments, and lozenges due to its sweetness and fragrance. It is derived from the root of the marshmallow plant.

We work with our growers and small farmers to ensure they are cultivating the correct species or variety, harvesting the correct plant part at the ideal time and processing and storing it.
