HOW TO USE:
- Golden milk or moon milk: half a teaspoon whisked into warm milk with honey, cardamom, cinnamon or nutmeg - the classic Ayurvedic preparation and the easiest way to take it.
- Smoothies: half a teaspoon blended with banana, dates, cacao or nut butter, which cover the bitterness well.
- Tea: half a teaspoon simmered in water or milk for a few minutes, then strained and sweetened.
- Coffee and hot chocolate: stir a small amount into the cup.
- Baking: fold into energy balls, bliss balls and date bars. Start with a small amount - the flavour is strong and most people build up gradually.
STORAGE:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal after each use and always use a dry spoon.
SAFETY:
Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Speak to a healthcare professional before use if you are taking any medication - particularly thyroid, sedative, immunosuppressant or blood-sugar medication - or if you have an autoimmune or thyroid condition. Discontinue use and seek advice if you feel unwell. Keep out of reach of children. Allergens: none declared. May contain traces of nuts or sesame (shared facility).
WHY THIS SIZE:
Ashwagandha is taken by the half-teaspoon, so a 500g pouch lasts a long time and costs far less per gram than the small jars. It is also the size that makes sense once it has become part of a routine rather than something you are trying. Decant into a smaller jar for daily use and keep the bulk pouch sealed.
GOOD TO KNOW:
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is one of the oldest herbs in Ayurvedic cooking and is also known as Indian ginseng, winter cherry and asgandh. The Sanskrit name translates roughly as the smell of a horse, which is an honest description - the root is earthy, bitter and distinctly musky, and that is what it is supposed to smell like. Traditionally it is the root that is used, not the leaf. Cheaper powders stretch the yield with leaf and stem, which is paler, greener and much less bitter; a true root powder is tan to light brown and smells strongly the moment the pouch is opened. Because the taste is strong, it is almost always taken with something - warm milk with honey and cardamom is the classic preparation, and cacao, banana and dates all cover it well in a smoothie.
