Put together, dandelion and burdock reinforce each other’s action, in particular as a liver tonic. Burdock contains its own bitter substance, lappin and is suitable for a diabetic diet. Dandelion & Burdock makes a light coffee alternative with a distinctive burdock flavour. It is naturally caffeine-free.
Additional Information:
The burdock belongs to the thistles group. It gets its name of “Dock” from its large leaves (as large as rhubarb leaves at the base) and the “Bur” from the little hooked prickles which stick like velcro to everything they come in contact with.
In Japan it is cultivated for its roots and, after three months growth, used as a vegetable in stir-fries. It has a sweet and mucilagineous taste. Golden Field's burdock is grown in New Zealand on certified organic farms and is harvested early autumn. It used to be a traditional combination in Britain, but nowadays only a dandelion & burdock artificially flavoured soft drink can still be bought.
Ingredients: All certified organic and grown in New Zealand
The sachets contain very finely ground dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale), and burdock root (Arctium lappa), half and half, both lightly roasted.
The granules are small pieces of root without fines. Half dandelion, and half burdock, both lightly roasted.
