Turkey Rhubarb (Ruibarbo Turco) is a traditional herbal root that has been used for centuries in Chinese, European, and Western herbal traditions. Derived from the root of Rheum palmatum, it is valued for its bitter nature and long history of use in digestive wellness preparations.
Traditionally, smaller amounts have been used in digestive formulas, while larger amounts have historically been employed for their more pronounced effects. Its distinctly bitter character makes it a notable ingredient in traditional digestive blends.
Handcrafted and packaged in Puerto Rico.
