Description
Botanical Name: Withania somnifera
Also known as: Indian Ginseng or Winter Cherry
Rooted in Ayurvedic tradition, Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) that grows across India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. For centuries, its dried root has been milled into a fine powder valued for its role in traditional wellbeing practices.
Ground from premium dried roots, Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Ashwagandha Powder offers a smooth, earthy aroma and centuries of Ayurvedic heritage.
Traditionally described as an adaptogenic root, it is valued in Ayurveda as a Rasayana, a rejuvenative botanical associated with balance and restoration.
Supplied as a botanical ingredient for traditional and educational use.
FLAVOUR & AROMA PROFILE
- Warm, earthy, and slightly bitter with nutty undertones
- Deeply grounding aroma with subtle herbal sweetness
- Complements spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, and nutmeg
How to Use
Ashwagandha powder is traditionally used in small amounts and blended gently into warm or neutral bases.
- Stir ¼ to ½ tsp into warm milk or plant milk for an evening ritual
- Mix into smoothies with banana, dates or cacao for a grounding note
- Whisk into honey, ghee or nut butter for traditional preparations
- Add to warm water or herbal infusions and sip slowly
Start with a smaller quantity and adjust based on taste and personal preference. Ashwagandha has a naturally earthy, slightly bitter profile that softens when paired with warmth or natural sweetness.
Perfect For
- Evening routines and wind-down rituals.
- Those who enjoy traditional Ayurvedic pantry ingredients.
- People seeking grounding, earthy botanicals in daily food rituals.
- Blending into warm drinks, smoothies or nourishing preparations.
- Conscious kitchens that value heritage use and gentle incorporation.
