Description
Description
Botanical Name: Azadirachta indica
Neem powder is made from the dried leaves of the neem tree, a revered botanical native to the Indian subcontinent and long woven into daily life through food traditions, household practices and seasonal rituals. Rather than being treated as a specialty ingredient, neem leaf was historically used in small, intentional amounts as part of everyday routines.
Spice Zen’s Certified Organic Neem Powder is produced by gently drying neem leaves before finely milling them into a smooth, vibrant green powder. This careful process preserves the leaf’s natural intensity, colour and unmistakable bitterness, resulting in a powder that is potent, aromatic and best used with restraint.
When opened, neem powder releases a sharp, green, herbal aroma.
Flavour & Aroma Profile

Wellness Note
In Ayurvedic and traditional Indian food systems, neem leaf has long been regarded as a deeply cleansing and purifying botanical, valued especially for its intense bitterness for internal balance and seasonal cleansing practices.
Neem leaf was historically used as part of broader food practices intended to reset the body after periods of excess, heat, or seasonal change.
Because of its strong, astringent character, neem has traditionally been used in very small amounts and frequently combined with other foods or botanicals to soften its intensity.
